# Discussion

- the real question: do we still have time to get our patches in to the 28 branch ^_^
- So I assume a lot of distros will make those native-comp related packages some sort of dependency, right?
  - the conversations I have seen among the distro maintainers seems to suggest that at least some of them will bundle the .eln files
    - What about ELPAs?
      - if a distro packages elisp files they would, but for ELPA even the .elc files aren't stored (iirc?), so those would be compiled asynchrously
- That's great so that I'm not using weird commands on incompatible modes
- Yes yes yes, the input mode update sounds incredible. I already hack that in my init.el, but I guess it'll be native.
- thank you so much for the great work on Emacs!
- why would emoji support be important in any way.. for anybody? Especially.. in the larger scheme of things or more important problems? Am i missing something?
  - Unicode compatibility's always a good thing
- so you have to have a toolchain present even if you are only using precompiled .eln files
