We think that our eclasses serve their purpose well, and the tree is in reasonable shape. Upstream, there is a trend that the more important packages are being absorbed by Emacs proper. So we may have to remove some packages from the app-emacs category, or add conditionals to deactivate them for newer Emacs versions. GNU Emacs 23 was released almost two years ago. Some of the main new features in Emacs 24 will be support for bi-directional text and for lexical binding. Both have been merged to the trunk, so hopefully we'll see the release of Emacs 24 in less than a year from now (it took 10 months from 22.3 to 23.1, so by extrapolation 24.1 would be released in January 2012 ;-) ). For the micro-emacsen, one notable development is that Zile will move from C to Lua. We'll have to see what are the implications for us, because app-editors/zile is on the Gentoo minimal install CD.
