Emacs did not get installed.
Also, although neither mysql-devel, nor postgresql-devel, nor even
libtool-ltdl-devel got installed, I ended up with a huge number of
-devel packages, many of whom, from my viewpoint would like have an
audience much smaller than emacs' potential audience.
Although an argument could be made about mysql and postgresql, I
suppose, leaving emacs off is rather depressing, if that accurately
represents the contemporary general opinions.
Why? It's just shows your personal preference for a editor. Emacs is
certainly not needed for software development.
