Sorry, not that many. A few have expressed concerns but I believe that
those concerns have been addressed.

All released versions of EMACS use level-one annotations. Only an
unreleased development uses level-two. Plans are underway to migrate
that away from level-two.

The changes are sitting on the:
interps-20030201-branch
I've just reviewed and cleaned them up - now pass without regressions.
So commit is tomorrow.
