    Emacs 21.2 was the last known-good port, but that requires out-of-tree
    code due to legal issues (specifically: the author of a big chunk of
    VMS-specific code filed in 1992 a "copyright disclaimer" only, 

We can use code with a copyright disclaimer.
So if that was indeed the reason for removing the code,
someone misunderstood the issue.

Perhaps there was some other reason.
