I'm not sure that hardcore XEmacs users can be convinced to switch to
Emacs, even if Emacs 23 will provide the necessary eye-candy that is
lacking from Emacs 22.  The differences in operating concept philosophy
and the Lisp implementations are rather large.

The good news is that while XEmacs is unlikely to be ported to GTK+ 2.0
anytime soon, support for GTK+ 1.2 is optional and XEmacs can be built
without it, so xemacs21 will not have to be removed, only the
xemacs21-gnome* packages have to go.

Sven,
     not an XEmacs user
