Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

it seems to me that your package is completely redundant, because
version 1.2.6 of artist.el is already included in Emacs 22 and newer;
moreover a new release from Tomas Abrahamsson seems unlikely.

Furthermore, comparing your version of artist.el with the versions
included in Emacs 22 and later does not end favorable for the
separately packaged version.  There have been numerous small fixes in
Emacs, ranging from spelling corrections to security improvements.
E.g., the artist-system function in your version uses make-temp-name to
generate a temporary file name, whereas the Emacs 22 version of
artist-system uses the more secure make-temp-file function for that
purpose.

If you agree with this reasoning, please send the following commands
to [email protected], replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number:

severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: artist -- RoM; redundant with emacs22 and later
thanks
