No. The emacs-bidi and the m17n are the same thing. As
emacs-bidi is now distributed at www.m17n.org, it is
referred as "the m17n".
So it sounds like some people are saying that the emacs-bidi code
is usable as it stands and is worth installing, and nobody thinks
it is useless. Meanwhile, it looks like you are ready to make
use of Eli's code in the short term.
If we can use Eli's code soon enough, then it's not worth installing
the Emacs-bidi code; it would just be extra work. On the other hand,
if it looks like the difficulty of using Eli's code is enough to make
it hard, then I think we should install the Emacs-bidi code now.
