Sounds like a total mess for XEmacs developers any which way. Unless
some XEmacs developer volunteers maintaining for the XEmacs parts, it
is not likely to be much of a help keeping them. How about tagging
the current state with something like url_with_xemacs, then moving
XEmacs support out? In that way, if some XEmacs developer ever
volunteers to take it up at some time, he can just work on remerging
the branches.
I think that seems like a saner approach than letting the support
remain in head with an unknown and rotting state of functionality for
XEmacs.
