And when the XEmacs 21.5 code base goes stable? What then? Is that

when this code base becomes stable?
We'll all rejoice then, will we not? :o)
I also don't understand why 21.5 doesn't need ess-site, but
that looks
very fishy to me. If there's 21.4-specific code in ESS, I don't think
it belongs in a site config file, but rather in an appropriately named
compatibility library.
That is, although I see how it could be used to temporarily work
around the real issue (which is hidden in ess-site somewhere), it
seems to me you're storing up trouble for the future.
Well no, the issue was
that the "feature" was in xemacs-beta,
not ESS. Like you say, this would have been only temporary while I
came up with a work-around for the package/lisp directory "feature".
But, as you say, there is another way which I am using now:
(if xemacs-betaname nil (require 'ess-site))
