Yes, my versions come without Gnus. I directly downloaded them
from xemacs.org (which is completely outdated by the way.)

If you see a way of re-reverting this without breaking the various way
to install Org in Emacs, let me know.

org-condition-case-unless-debug is not in maint or master anymore,
so I guess this problem is gone. Do you confirm this?

"Official support" is useful to officially declare something as a
bug or not. But I'm not sure it's worth officially declaring that we
officially support this version and not this one. We are not Org LTS.
We are just a few random hackers trying to do and share their best :)
But you're right, we need to publicly set a goal, at least.
I hereby declare that I want Org to be fully functional for Emacs 23
and older, and I wish Org can be reasonably functional for Emacs <23
and XEmacs. XEmacs users and Emacs-22 users, please help reporting
comptability bugs, or you'll be ignored till the Dawn of Apocalypse.
:)
