I miss the latest stable XEmacs version, 21.1. (xemacs21 is 21.4 which
is a gamma release and the differences to 21.1 are quite noticable if
you are programming elisp).

At the risk of starting the old flamewar: You are forced to deal with
Mule in emacs20 and emacs21. Emacs19 is binary clean, I believe Emacs
22 will be binary clean again (using Unicode internally). But I can
understand if it takes too much resources to support too many
versions.
