As the comment says, it's necessary for backwards compatibility, and I wasn't particularly happy about having to do it.
Backwards compatibility is not sufficient reason for this. Loading appt.el used to activate the appointment package (in a convoluted way, I think; can't remember the details now). When I changed it so it did not, I had an email from someone saying he had missed a bunch of appointments. He will just have to change his init file. Please take this out now. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
