And I suspect this will be the case for many front-ends, not just emacs. I'm personnaly very grateful of the frontends that work on a full MI approach, as this is the only way to determine what's missing in MI as well as stabilizing the MI protocol. But I understand that it's a challenge to make that transition. Let's not fight over whether we should always accomodate front-ends in CLI mode or not. Let's look instead of the issues on a case-by-case basis. If we can support the front-end request with a reasonable amount of effort, then let's do it. -- Joel
