A year or so from now, if things keep going the way they have been,
nearly all of our users will be on either Linux or some flavor of
Microsoft Windows. Linux has been the most popular Unix to run XEmacs
on[1] since 19.14.
This is not to say that I'm in favor of dropping portable Unix
support. I'm not. It's just not as important as it used to be.

The counts can be deceiving. A Sun download to my company would cover
tens of users at least and this is not that large a development group.
