I think that's true in this case too. Though there will inevitably be a few people with unusual requirements, I think most tend to use a given .emacs file with a single installation of emacs, and the emacs installation only gets upgraded, never downgraded. [Even people that occasionally use an older version of emacs probably wouldn't be excessively bothered by a few customized faces reverting to the default when they did so.] > Have all faces that were renamed been given suitable aliases? > Otherwise, the feature may not work too well in practice.
