I was mostly concerned about local patches which we have 'backported' from CVS trunk of GNU Emacs to the editors/emacs port, to unbreak GTK+ builds. Should we sign papers with the FSF to 'distribute' builds of this port? Do we need to change anything from the way we handled GPLv2 versions of GNU Emacs in the Ports tree? .. and so on.
