>You won't suddenly find your text editor "upgraded" with tons of new features you never asked for.

I never asked for native compilation implemented via the trampoline technique, which increases attack surface (because it causes Emacs to routinely execute files in a known-by-attackers location in my home directory) and makes debugging harder, but I'm stuck with it if I want my Emacs to speak the Wayland protocol (and I do).

Ditto the clumsy bolting-on of lexical scope.

Native compilation is optional as you surely know.

It also has nothing to do with Wayland.

And what's wrong with adding lexical scope!?

I do have some concerns about certain features but the ones listed do work, and work great.
