Further thought: for new features like Mikael's emacs interface,
shouldn't we rather put those only into head CVS (i.e. 1.7.x)?

Personally I find parallel-branch development (which I do for
applicable doc fixes and enhancements) to be an additional burden that
I would prefer not to have.  I think it's easier all round if we
restrict 1.6.x to bug fixes (broadly speaking), only put new stuff
into 1.7.x, and look forward to 1.8 sooner rather than later.
