In general, I love the whole series, thanks! I'm looking forward to our
future, faster test suite.

Even more, I love the constructive dialog that follows the original
series and the attention being focused on getting things right.

As for the detail of whether to use emacsclient or Austin's look-alike,
I don't have a strong attachment to either solution. I do appreciate
concrete technical things like "robust against recycled PIDs", "more
robust against leaving daemon's around for some reason", etc.

Would any of this potentially interfere with my own usage of emacsclient
and emacs server? I use them regularly and would be quite surprised (and
likely frustrated) if the test suite got mixed up with my existing emacs
server (or the other way around). Maybe that's already taken care of
with either approach? (A quick skim of the emacsclient manual age didn't
make it obvious to me how emacslcient finds its server.)
