If you release a new 1.5 version now then you will have a few weeks at least
to work out any wrinkles.  So, it might make sense to have a stable version of
emacs since the old version apparently had so many problems.

OTOH, if it is a lot of trouble then just sticking with 1.7 is, IMO, fine.

Thanks very much for stepping up here.  It is really appreciated.
