Cory,

I think that we already had this discussion. My opinion about this
is:

- Emacs ctags/etags is also used by other software --- not having it
  naturally accessible is uncomfortable;

- if "exuberant ctags" is feature wise equivalent to the ctags version
  we can consider an "alternative" mechanism --- it permits to choose
  which ctags is used;

Could you fill a feature request in mantis and stating clearly what is
your desired behaviour?
