  > Emacs can't be described as "real-time"

In the editor context, it means that the editor displays the results of each
editing command right away.

                                            because it doesn't meet
  > the demands of real-time systems according to
  > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing

That definition is not pertinent here.

However, we already deleted that term from the Emacs documentation,
so let's stop arguing about it on this list.
