The quick and easy way to stop rms from doing that is not to assign your
program to the FSF in the first place.  Of course, he won't distribute your
program with Emacs at all in that case, but anything that prevents him from
pissing on my code I consider to be a good thing.  Call me jaded, I guess,
but I think the brain death of MULE in Emacs 20 is sufficient cause.
