Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 24.12-1
Severity: important

The emacs-goodies-el and gnus-bonus-el packages shadow a number of
packages included in emacs-snapshot.  This is problematic because some
of these packages are maintained in Emacs CVS and are newer in
emacs-snapshot than in emacs-goodies-el, or may contain changes that are
needed for Emacs 22.

This is particularly aggravating for ibuffer since the version in
emacs-goodies-el is almost *three years* older than the version in
Emacs.

Affected packages:

* emacs-goodies-el:
  - wdired.el
  - ibuffer.el
  - table.el
  - newsticker.el
* gnus-bonus-el:
  - nnnil.el
  - spam-stat.el

I'd also appreciate if you could make emacs-goodies-el.el stay off
emacs-snapshot entirely for these packages, i.e. don't bind keys, don't
autoload, etc.  This kind of thing in particular isn't needed:

| (if (and (>= emacs-major-version 22)  ; Change these two lines if XEmacs
|        (not (featurep 'xemacs)))      ; contains the wdired package
|     '(lambda ()
|        (define-key dired-mode-map "r" 'wdired-change-to-wdired-mode))

The key is not bound in Emacs, I don't see why emacs-goodies-el should
bind it on its own...

Thanks,
