Gosh, 22 years is ancient history.  I think this was even before the XEmacs
name.  It was probably still called Lucid Emacs!  Back then, SourceForge
seemed like the best public code hosting site available.  I don't remember,
but we might have even used CVS at the time. ;)

I switched back to GNU Emacs in 2008.

That's not to say that XEmacs support should be dropped.  I personally don't
care about it much any more, but other people do, and I think we should
respect the current CC Mode maintainer's opinion on matters like this.
