The latter.
Make sure it gets to me somehow. We can put it into CVS, we can put
-pkg tarballs on the FTP site retrievable via the package UI interface
in XEmacs, but it won't go into the Sumo until 21.2 become official.
When XEmacs 21.2 is released we can think about putting it in the
official package list, but currently we cannot because the packages
have to work with 21.1.
Not quite. We may distribute 21.2-only packages if they are bytecompilable
with XEmacs 21.1. If you follow good coding guidelines, your package will
be bytecompilable by an XEmacs that does not have the underlying support.
See the LDAP package as an excellent example of this.
