Let me name several nontrivial changes from the past 24 hours that
gained less than 100 replies:

 - XIM pre-edit text support
 - Native GTK input support
 - Using auth-info-password in TRAMP
 - rcirc-when

The difference between Drew's proposal and the others is that his
proposal will make for a breaking change.  IMO, breaking changes must be
avoided to the best of everyone's ability, in order to minimize the
disruption posed to the work and lives of many people.

Also, take a look at Emacs 29 NEWS, to see how many nontrivial changes
have been made in Emacs from October to now.
