There are hungry young minds in Africa, now armed with their

Children are our most precious resource and always remember
that a mind is a terrible thing to waste on something like FSF Emacs
22 or vim.
Papering over with propaganda the gap between XEmacs release standards
and procedures and the current 21.5 state is not a sustainable
substitute for development.
There is a saying "It is better to be quiet and thought of as a fool
than to speak and remove all doubt". I don't think that declaring 21.5
release quality will convince people that XEmacs is the best offering to
be had. They'll see it as an opportunity to compare.
