| why cant it mean both ? USE flags are intended to control features, not |
| 32 |
| dependencies. often times that just happens to translate into dependencies. |
| 33 |
| realistically though, anyone who wants "emacs" wants all emacs "things". if |
| 34 |
| it were to just pull in the emacs dependency, then that could just as easily |
| 35 |
| be accomplished by `emerge emacs` and then we can drop the USE flag entirely. |

If this in an emacs thing, then I guess it includes its own emacs-compatible elisp |
| 39 |
implementation with editor primitives exported to the user? Otherwise customizability is |
| 40 |
something of a laugh. Keybindings can be rewired. Simply having the same default |
| 41 |
keybindings as emacs does not make a package emacsy. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Seeing as this is an editor and a "GTK+ based simple text editor" I doubt it has much |
| 44 |
claim to emacs-ness. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If my explanation doesn't make any sense to anyone, please trust our emacs team's |
| 47 |
judgement in this. |
