Yes.

And yet "sets of files" was added by someone.  Good; that helps.

This too was fixed.

Items 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this detailed doc report have NOT
been fixed.  The bug is still open.  And there are still plenty
of good suggestions for fixing the problems - in the original
bug report.

OK, since Lars has never heard of it, and Lars is an Emacs-Lisp
user, this cannot be interesting to other Lisp programmers. ;-)
And yet there is plenty of 3rd-party use of filesets and the
fileset code...

Reopening.

You ignored 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 - all major parts of the bug report.

And you also ignored this, from a followup message:
