Amen. I don't like it, and am upfront about it, but understand perfectly that I have no business in blocking Org developers. You do an awesome job, and I find my workarounds :-) > Org is not the only source of annoyance. Emacs developers decided that .eln > cache must be namely per user.

I wrote it just to illustrate effect of the decision. Thanks for bringing that up, this is another beef of mine. Given the problem space, the "solution" is understandable, but horribly awkward. Watch the discussions distribution maintainers had with the JIT people. > P.S. I admit, browsers use caches rather extensively and controlling it is > not really trivial. Yes, but I hate browsers (and don't want to hate Emacs :-) Put it another way: I mistrust the browser and have long ago decided to use many separate profiles for different things. The one I use for casual browsing isn't even allowed to execute javascript. Cheers -- t
