And of course, my first paragraph (not quoted here) implies that any change
that we thus apply to the unmodified Oort Gnus should be carefully passed
on to the Gnus maintainers for inclusion.

Some may think "this is too much work", but I think instead we should at it
as a good way to make sure we concentrate on the really important changes.
