Re: Python mode failures with xemacs
Dropping Eric's CC, this is outside of what he was explicitly
interested in.

Andreas, this is a YMMV area. If you don't like it, don't use it and
don't contribute to it. But it's not helpful to deprecate what other
people want, unless you can offer a superior alternative that
satisfies the underlying requirement without giving them what they say
they want.
Maybe. I do think intellisense and refactoring support is important
and I'd love to see more of it, but still you can do some good stuff
without it.
Intellisense and refactoring support are two separate issues.
For the former, I think support should probably be like font-lock:
optional but on by default, and with varying degrees of
intrusiveness. I think the lowest level should probably be integrated
with dynamic abbreviation expansion to give some context sensitivity.
I suppose CEDET should go a long way to help with the latter.
