I searched through the archives of this list and I think the change you
mean was the introduction of the variable `dired-view-command-alist'.
The list had the form (REGEXP . SHELL-COMMAND) where SHELL-COMMAND was
an external viewer for files matching REGEXP. So I think that the
problem with that was that calling external programs (which might not be
available) is generally not a good idea. Since `doc-view' is an emacs
command and the user is asked if he wants to view the document with
`doc-view' instead of `view-file', I think my change is safe.
Bye,
