I added this information to the table, and also added a little section
concerning the details, at
https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck/wiki/Flycheck-versus-Flymake#wiki-relation-to-emacs.

I hope it makes clear that Flycheck likely won't ever be part of GNU
Emacs, even though my personal motives are omitted.

Please tell me if you find anything missing, or think, that it needs
improvement.

I am well aware of where I am, and I assure you, that I would have
prefered to never have to discuss this topic here.

However, I was invited to this discussion, and asked this particular
question.  I answered it by courtesy, and I do not think that I
deserve blame for an answer which you do not like.
