AFAIU, UTF-8 support is only available in Mule,
I don't think that's true (it's not true on Windows, but I'm not sure
about *nix). In any case, adding UTF-8 support to 21.5 no-Mule is not
very difficult.
as long as the Great Rewrite To Internal Unicode has not
happened. And no future release of XEmacs should go out without
UTF-8 support.
All currently maintained XEmacsen do support UTF-8 (albeit with the
help of Mule-UCS in the case of 21.4). However, there remain lots of
people, at least in the U.S., who don't need anything beyond
ISO-8859-X, and who do need efficient buffer addressing, which Mule
cannot currently offer. The option to disable Mule is therefore
desirable.
Therefore, I would have thought that getting rid of no-Mule is
unavoidable.
In the long run, yes, but I think we need widechar support for that.
According to Ben (and based on the experiences of Samba and Python),
that will be difficult and require lots of beta testing == time.
