Please don't take that personally. People are annoyed by 8+3 not by you
and we users value very much your tireless and long-term contribution to
Emacs. The thing though is 8+3 is on everybody's mind so they will
unconsciously name files that way even in cases difficult to do so.

BTW, what I meant by weirdly-named files are, for example, those c.el,
dired.el etc in cedet. One has to look at its enclosing directory to
guess what it does.
