I'll need to fix this shortly. I'm about to be working hard on the emacs21 package which needs to be done immediately, so expect to see a lot of noise out of me shortly. On the bright side, I expect that *many* of the long-standing emacs20 bugs will be ready for retirement -- I'm wondering if I should bother reassigning them to emacs21 and then close them, or if I should just tag them 'wontfix.
