I don't think I see the issue being _discussed_ there.  It's a single
message.

We aren't talking about the AOT build in general being supported, we
are talking about making it first-class citizen.  Can you point to
discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of that?  Perhaps I
missed that, or forgot.

That's not what I said, please don't misrepresent.  I said that if we
want to make this more mainstream than before, we may need to delay
the release of Emacs 28.  That's a far cry from not considering it
documented.
