Who's laying blame? There wasn't much point in me pursuing any other
authors without an assignment for Barry's code, but it's now moot.
If you're having trouble with copyright assignments, and don't get
anywhere with the clerk, rms would probably like to know.

Maybe, but it shouldn't be in Python mode, per my commentary. Something
like that clearly shouldn't be done there and more-or-less duplicated in
N other modes with inferior interpreters. (Actually, there is a bunch
of stuff left in python.el that shouldn't be there, and would have been
abstracted over similar modes if I'd had the chance, but at least some
of that required modifications to Emacs.)

$ grep -i pymacs python-mode.el
$ grep -i pymacs python.el
(autoload 'pymacs-load "pymacs" nil t)
(pymacs-load "bikeemacs" "brm-") ; first line of normal recipe
When I wrote python.el, as far as I could tell it had a superset of
features of the old mode which, as an experienced maintainer, I thought
should or had to be there (as opposed to things like generalized Eldoc
support, symbol completion, Capitalized Words mode, &c, and things which
violate Emacs requirements for keybindings and things).
