But it's *not* an emacs. It's a stripped down version missing the most
important feature - an extension language. That, and it not being
associated to the GNU project are why he asked us to change the name.

Instead of walking all over other peoples toes, why don't you suggest
a new name? mg was originally adopted because we hated typing out the
old name in full. When RMS requested the name change, that was the
obvious choice. Give me a better one, why don't you?
