Quick one question quiz here folks,

What is the difference between

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons ("\\.s?html?\\'" . 'hm--html-mode)
                            auto-mode-alist))
and 
(setq facemenu-key "\C-xF")

inside of one's .emacs?

I don't like where this is leading ...

That all depends on where they come from and what they are being used
for.

I *can't wait* until Emacs 19.35 comes out, because I sorely want to
introduce to new people exactly what it means to keep the Emacs lisp
in synch while at the same time preserving crucial XEmacs behavior.

We have them.  See scroll-in-place.el for one.

I would much rather fix the brain dead unconditional C-h keybinding
first.  That one has bit me on almost every system I've Emacs on.
