[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The effort to change EditorConfig settings for each project is too
small-scale
compared to other meaningful discussions, such as the need to guarantee
computing freedom. Forcing users who have used Emacs and EditorConfig and
found
them useful to accept this inconvenient change when they update to Emacs 30
seems like nothing more than a negative campaign against Emacs, and an
effort
to exclude casual Emacs users.

I have no other feedback on these efforts, but I am very grateful for your
work.

Regards,
