People who don't want to (or can't [1]) upgrade to Emacs 22 are not
necessarily the same people as the ones who want a never version of
$package.
Some other example: Emacs 21 comes with Gnus 5.9 which was released in
1999 [2]. In case of [1], (s)he can still install a much more recent
stable Gnus (5.10.8, released 2006; only bug fixes to 5.10.1, release
2003).

ACK. If Miles wouldn't do the work of syncing Gnus and Emacs
repositories, it would again imply much work for the next but one
Emacs release.
Bye, Reiner.
[1] E.g. if the sysadmin doesn't wan to install non-release software.
[2] Not only the long release cycle of Emacs, but also the long
release cycle of Gnus is responsible for this.
