Yes. I was about to come to that as well. Thanks for bringing it up.
If it is left out for some good reason it could have impact whether it should
be deprecated. Even if it is the tip in the xemacs package rqepo I think it is
far behind the current upstream version which makes it questionable maybe to
release it?
Well, from upstream's
<http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Installation>;:
"Due to XEmacs lacking some features that ESS requires, ESS support of
XEmacs ended with ESS 12.04-4."
Which is already six years behind -current:
<https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/releases?after=v12.04>;, and still
eight years ahead of the XEmacs ess. Funny that the website still names
XEmacs support <https://ess.r-project.org/index.php?Section=home>;.
Cheerio,
hauke
