I don't think "satisfy" is sufficiently well defined to be useful in this conversation. There's clearly a tradeoff to be made between bug#20202 and bug#20484. IOW, right now people who suffer from bug#20202 are not satisfied either. The ideal situation (which I think is the one that we should strive for in the long-run) is to have Emacs not touch the $EMACS var (which will address bug#20202). So the question is how to get there. It will most likely involve a bit of annoyance to some users along the way. But I think replacing $EMACS by $INSIDE_EMACS in their ~/.zshrc, or adding some magic one-liner in their ~/.emacs is a rather minor annoyance. Stefan
