Thanks! I could understand this comment in a version of this file elsewhere, e.g. ELPA, but not in the built-in version in Emacs. Why is this comment needed? Is it OK to drop from the master branch this kind of comments?Please retain this, this entire file is identical with that used on other versions of Emacs. It would be otherwise be nearly impossible to manage diverging files.
Wouldn't it better to keep one verilog-mode.el version in ELPA fully compatible with Emacs-21?
And let the file in the master branch to benefit of all that has come since Emacs-21? I also notice that the file is very large (> 14 klines). Maybe it would be easier to maintain if the file is split in 4-5 files. Regards, Tino
