Agreed. The finer points to potential differences are lost to me. One caveat: debian/patches/50_highlight-beyond-fill-column.diff uses highlight-current-line's configuration group, thus I suspect removing highlight-current-line's emacs-goodies custom configuration will break highlight-beyond-fill-column. Is beyond-fill-column also a target for removal? The following thread also has various reference to whitespace-line-column (part of GNU Emacs), which sounds like it provides the functionality of highlight-beyond-fill-column. "The author of highlight-80+.el [sounds like an alternate highlight-beyond-fill-column] says its discontinued and recommends, since Emacs 23, to use whitespace-mode's whitespace-line-column". https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6344474/how-can-i-make-emacs-highlight-lines-that-go-over-80-chars Cheers, Nicholas.
