Thanks for your responses. Since Al plans to use buframe.el in other places, I think ELPA is the way to go. That would probably reduce the maintenance burden at Al's end as well? So the proposal is to default `preview-point-show-in' to after-string (as it is right now) and if people want to set this to buframe, they have to install it from ELPA manually, and we don't have something like this in auctex.el: ;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "28.1") (buframe "x.xx")) ? I'm not sure if this is the most elegant solution, but it is what it is. Best, Arash
