Since user can disable dictionaries-common stuff from /etc/emacs.. xemacs lisp files were left so this option remains available to users. We just tagged the dictionaries-common .el files as modified by the Debian people. So, disabling is left as an option, and we expect people to just report bugs where they feel like, leaving us the reassignation. Having an old, but supposed-to-work fallback is also interesting for debugging. > > Thanks for your report.

Although Manuel puts some flyspell.el files in his web page, he does not really maintain flyspell.el for years. Just, when some of us send him a patch, takes a look at it and puts it into his personal version. For some time now, when I have patches for upstream, I send them to emacs-devel mailing list, trying to get them included there, which I consider the real upstream now. However, although I try to send xemacs compatible patches, changes sent by other people might not be xemacs compatible. When I have time, try to also send changes to Manuel Serrano, but this goes much slower. Pre 0.90.0 version was based on one of Manuel versions, but heavily patched to fix bugs, include other functionalities and integrate better with ispell.el (another no longer maintained package). 0.90.0 should be closer to the previous patched version, so reducing debian diffs, and include more recent code and functionalities, and is faster. This all means, I will need to carefully study the diff between them. Unfortunately, unless I am really lucky, I do not expect this to be quick.
