In that regard, I'd like to make a suggestion about the new .dir-locals file. As an user, I have really no comment about its inclusion in the AUCTeX tree. But its distribution through ELPA with the package I believe to be less granted. Those who install the package with package.el presumably don't mean to edit the files. And it may generate some inconveniences. As an example, in my case, precisely because I want to ensure I won't fat finger the packages in the elpa/ directory, I use a .dir-locals there to open any package source files read-only. But, if AUCTeX distributes its own .dir-locals, it overrides any other ones found up in the tree. That's to say: would you please consider including `.dir-locals.el' to `.elpaignore'? Best regards, Gustavo.
