For some reason I'm missing all mail to emacs-devel between 4 April and
8 April, so I had to look into the archives to find this being discussed.

* generic.el: Commentary section cleanup.
(generic): Delete.
(generic-use-find-file-hook, generic-lines-to-scan)
(generic-find-file-regexp, generic-ignore-files-regexp)
(default-generic-mode, generic-mode-find-file-hook)
(generic-mode-ini-file-find-file-hook): Move to generic-x.el.
* generic-x.el (generic-x): Docstring fix. Put it in the data group.
(generic-use-find-file-hook, generic-lines-to-scan)
(generic-find-file-regexp, generic-ignore-files-regexp)
(default-generic-mode, generic-mode-find-file-hook)
(generic-mode-ini-file-find-file-hook): Moved from generic.el.
This change seems to have caused problems. The only reference in my
.emacs to generic is a
(require 'generic-x)
which used to give me some extra generic based modes.
Now it just gives me an error:
Loading generic...done
An error has occured while loading ~/.emacs:
Symbol's value as variable is void: default-generic-mode
As an aside, I've found Emacs to be less stable since the feature freeze
was declared than it has been since the early days of 21.0 development.
I have very little time to spend on Emacs and the little time I have is
spent tracking down the cause of problems like this leaving no time for
any real bugfixing on the Windows port. I don't know what the answer is
to this, but I'm finding it frustrating that after a year of feature
freeze, people are still shuffling code around between files and
directories and renaming variables while the manuals still need more
proofreading and real bugs need fixing.
