I thought the best way we can help 21.4 users is to make 21.5 stable
so that they can move.
That works for some, not all. In early 2010, Steve Baur at Cisco was
*officially* supporting all GNU Emacsen from 21.2 or 21.3, and
XEmacsen from 21.4. In practice he also supported a couple of XEmacs
21.1 users. In 2007, a poll of over 200 Emacsen users at Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter showed 2 users of Emacs 18.55, with increasing
numbers of users of all later versions of Emacs and XEmacs (except
Epoch and LEmacs at 0 and 1). Steve himself never moved to 21.5;
Martin Buchholz is also using a variant of 21.4.
That is my goal.
Your goals are your goals, and that's fine. But history shows that
users often have other goals than migrating to the latest and greatest.
