Hm. I haven't delved in the details, and I think it'd be useless:
Eli and you are both light-years smarter than me -- I just have
the feeling that Eli has a perspective there that you don't, just
because he's as deep in Emacs as few of us are; as current maintainer
his job is to favour overall consistency over perhaps bright, but
perhaps less understandable devices.

I konw Eli can be stubborn :) But he's also extremely patient.

I understand. Just give Eli the benefit of the doubt. I am certain
that there is no bad intention there. On both sides.
