No! :) First of all, there is no /the/ emacs mode for picolisp. At the very least, that is my personal opinion. beneroth mentioned on irc that there are picolisp users who use each of the known (including yours) picolisp modes. I don't think that they believe there is a "/the/ mode". :) Also, "No!' goes for renaming or removing your code on melpa. Please do not do this. It is unnecessary. I believe that you and the melpa people resolved this correctly. I don't think anybody here believes that you "stole" or "sneaked" your code into melpa before any of the previously written mode authors could (in the "mwahahaha!" style, twirling the end of your mustache :). That would be silly. Anyway, those authors had plenty of time to register their mode with melpa if they wanted to. They didn't. (And you honestly didn't know about the others.) melpa is just not an essential; it's just a nice convenience. I get that milkypostman wants melpa to "win mindshare" or whatever his goals and motives are -- he certainly seems to believe in /the/ way. Hey, as long as I can still source packages from where-ever, the melpa people can do whatever they want. Anyway, that was very admirable of you to consider the community though. Thanks, man!
