I suppose that your have strong arguments for not moving from R-2.7 to R-2.8 ? NewDevDesc was a transition entity and has gone away with R-2.8. (It's still a moving target, but the target R for rpy2-2.1 by the time it gets ready will likely be R-2.9... at least) > I think this is the last patch needed to make tip really usable for me > (for now).

I have no strong preference on the matter. I often get by with whatever default the Emacs on the system has, but I can accommodate with no-tabs if wished (although now comes The Question: how many spaces ?).
