        I will surely respect any NAKs from those in charge of the given
        package, or Emacs as a whole (as per the Savannah project page.)

        We’re all volunteers here, yes.  But you can – and, I’d argue,
        should – /prevent/ the use of the Emacs community resources for
        the purposes contrary to the advancement of the project itself.
        (FWIW, it’s just the thing I do at Russian Wikibooks.)  And as
        long as there’s a NAK from you, I will consider my change more
        or less a matter of my taste, not something valuable to the
        Emacs community at large.

        Similarly, as long as there’re any objections from Lars
        regarding my SHR- or EWW-related suggestions, I’d rather start
        my own fork than push a single change.

        And I’d still like to hear why you think that tar-untar-buffer
        /must/ use the value of default-directory local to a buffer
        /other/ than the one the user called this command from.

        TIA.
