I think you're right.  Even if we decide we want to, there's no time
left for this release, and some of the work might not even be wrt the
emacs packages, proper.

That said, and as you mentioned, we could also consider other/additional
flavors of emacs, but of course those have their own costs.

In any case, happy to discuss adjustments for unstable after the
release.

Thanks
