I can't! I don't have a bugzilla account and nor can I create one! tla has 
almost NO deps (in fact it only needs libc as i recall) and it could VERY 
simply be packaged by a person who knew how RPM worked.

I meant to be included in the default distribution, maybe someday even 
replacing XEmacs (the site has a list of things about SXE that are better 
than XE and I could probably tell you more)

If people don't KNOW they have a choice, they won't EXERCISE their right 
to MAKE the choice. Surely you understand.
