This is related with an issue discussed in another thread (require-hard-newlines to use newline), but is more general.
In Emacs 21.3, Text mode did not override the default value of require-final-newline. In current CVS, it does via mode-require-final-newline. Is there a reason for that? I can see a reason for some specific derived modes, but these derived modes could use mode-require-final-newline themselves, instead of letting the parent mode do it for them. Also, nil _is_ a valid value for mode-require-final-newline. But the docstring is not very explicit about that and you can not set it to nil via Custom. If you set it to nil outside Custom, Custom will falsely describe the value as `ask', which is a bug. Would it be good to have the docstring mention this explicitly and allow it to be set to nil via Custom with proper warning of the involved dangers (which would fix the bug)?
