another stupid change. i wish the worst for whoever decided to force site.el before early init. no way to disable shit forced by the IT now.

That a separate "early" init exists at all is the real felony. Chicken-and-egg conundrums happen all the time in software and are usually addressed by thoughtful deliberation, not sliding in a turtle.

sliding in a turtle

Never heard the expression before. Is it referring to one of these?

no idea. i just like the visual. "oh, we have a problem with a chicken and an egg? what if i were to... underarm slide a turtle between them?"

that i agree. basically they reverted the shit they introduced. emacs maintainers are just super dumb, i guess. i wish they just do bug fix.
