But it might be difficult to request from an XEmacs user to checkout code from the GNU Emacs repository in order to test the very recent patches. Furthermore, there might be files which are dedicated to XEmacs only, and not for GNU Emacs. This is the case at least for Tramp. And contributions from XEmacs users would also be less frequent (not that there are so many in the Tramp case :-( Best regards, Michael.
