"Weeks"?  Boy, I guess time really flies when one's enjoying: the
first message of this thread was posted less than a week ago:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-09/msg01911.html

And it really started just 2 days ago:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-10/msg00015.html

But whatever.
