• 03:40 UTC (new) (history) 2016-09-26 Emacs now suggests shorter ways of invocating a command . . . .

It is quite nice, non-intrusive and helpful. Emacs 25.1 took that to the next level.

(Maybe nobody does anything stupid like that and it’s only me who has such unproductive habits, but I doubt it;-)…) As many Emacs users, I try to boost my productivity, and email notifications or checking email too often is a great way to actually worsen it.
