I don't remember the reason, but I remember there was one.
I think that specific point was discussed in this list
a few months ago.
Actually, the decision to replace the old _way_ to override the
default value of `require-final-newline' with a new one based on
`mode-require-final-newline' was made a few months ago. Maybe I
caused confusion by mentioning `mode-require-final-newline'. I was
not asking about the _implementation change_. The real question I
wanted to ask was:
In Emacs 21.3, Text mode did not override the default value of
require-final-newline. In current CVS, it does. Is there a
reason for that?
Here, the relevant change was made more than two years ago:
2002-09-02 Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>
* textmodes/text-mode.el
(paragraph-indent-text-mode-abbrev-table)
(paragraph-indent-text-mode-syntax-table,
paragraph-indent-text-mode):
Use text-mode's syntax-table and abbrev-table.
(text-mode): Set require-final-newline to t.
Sincerely,
Luc.
