Re: include SUMO?

If you're talking about the packages, mule-packages are not the

without Mule. So they are distributed separately, until we have
confidence that Mule is sufficiently performant to remove the
--without-mule option entirely.
There's a --with-mule option, no --without-mule. If Mule is the safer choice,
and the future direction of XEmacs, shouldn't it be the default?
And it's really the wrong question. Why would anybody be willing
to
maintain XEmacs without a package distribution?
Because there's no maintaining. When upgrading, they replace the packages with
the latest sumo.
If using the package manager is the better approach, that doesn't come across
from reading

Maybe. It's not obvious to me that it's worth the additional effort
on the release manager's part, given the inherent deficiencies of the
process of producing a combined tarball.
Maybe not. So long as there is an unambiguous procedure for installing XEmacs,
all of XEmacs.
