Thank you! A small correction on framing though: the goal is not a fork but a patch upstream. The backend is structured precisely to minimize the diff against Emacs mainline. The "nvim moment" comparison is flattering but I would rather this be the patch that makes the FSF argument easier to win than the one that splits the community. That said, your list of modernization items is a fair read of the backlog.
