Hm, for me it definitely _is_ stable enough, at least I can't realise mroe
crashes than a 21.4 instance does. I claim this is due to large amounts of
RAM on most of my boxes.

Okay for me it's the question (as I discussed with Steve already): What
will waste more time, backporting the features to 21.4 or starting with
21.5 and making the lisp engine remarkably faster?
Thus my great summary on all this: I cannot decide yet. :)
Talking about ECB: I cannot really see _the_ usage of it. It mangles my
installation of Cedet which is more annoying to fix than having comfort by
ECB. Personally same breakage happens in 21.4 instances.
