>You won't suddenly find your text editor "upgraded" with tons of new features you never asked for. I never asked for native compilation implemented via the trampoline technique, which increases attack surface (because it causes Emacs to routinely execute files in a known-by-attackers location in my home directory) and makes debugging harder, but I'm stuck with it if I want my Emacs to speak the Wayland protocol (and I do). Ditto the clumsy bolting-on of lexical scope.

Native compilation is optional as you surely know. It also has nothing to do with Wayland. And what's wrong with adding lexical scope!? I do have some concerns about certain features but the ones listed do work, and work great.

  You can't build an Emacs with Wayland (PGTK) support without native comp. ./configure will complain and refuse to do it.

    This sounds like a bug! I mean, this makes libgccjit a hard dependency for pgtk which just doesnt make sense
