As you may know, I also had a chance to see the original RMS's request
to GNU projects. And I am quite surprised by the interpretation.
Wasn't it about *installing* LLM-written code? (that's literally in the
subject line).

Note that I have no issue about not posting the code on the list, but,
unless I totally miss something, that sounds like independent decision
from Emacs maintainers, not GNU project's policy.

Sure. I am myself often annoyed by the usual flattering and empty
writing that standard LLMs produce. However, FYI, what I posted is a
result of several dozens of iterations, later edited by me, and produced
with LLM specifically tuned to be more straight to the point.  I could
rewrite it myself, but that would honestly not gain much.

P.S. I hope we can go back to discussing the proposed dynamic keymap idea.
I think I managed to solve the concerns we raised earlier in the thread
in the proposed design.
