There was a lot of swapping of what was in other peoples’ inits (there was no security on ITS at all). I discovered that others just linked to my (compiled) init file due to people complaining when I changed it.
Since Wikipedia didn’t even exist until emacs was more than 25 years old and little was written down in a way acceptable to Wikipedia, consider pages on topics of that vintage to be vague

It has sources (see my comment above).
Do you have corroborating sources? I (and others) would be keenly interested in them!
Just my memories of being at the AI lab back then.
Would be interesting to have, e.g. an interview about this, recorded someolace reputable.
