Ah indeed. I've updated the branch to close both the orphaning bug and the RC bug. > but I'm concerned about importing a new upstream version.

I would explain that helm has been orphaned and the last uploaded version was 3 years ago, which is incompatible with the latest Emacs 30.1 release. It would take a lot of effort to fix each potential incompatibility, which would all be dropped immediately in Forky because they are unnecessary for the latest version. It would also make more sense to import the newer version should there be any security issue so that backporting upstream fixes would be easier. Hope these arguments are helpful. > -- > Sean Whitton -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
