In perpetuity? Why? In forty years they should be using a 55 year old version of Emacs and a 45 year old version of Python? I respectfully but firmly disagree.

In perpetuity? Why? In forty years they should be using a 55 year old version of Emacs and a 45 year old version of Python? I respectfully but firmly disagree. Very few are using it, it's not getting updates, and is a potential security hole because of the lack of updates, it seems to me to be smart to get rid of it. Most people wouldn't want to use that ancient version of Emacs, and would install a newer one via Homebrew or GNU Emacs for OS X.
