Shrug. I just love the way XEmacs treats upstream.

Please calm down, David. My message was intended in all courtesy.
It's hard to respond courteously to an implied threat of legal action,
especially an empty one, but my response to your claim that we are
legally obliged to implement your request was not *dis*courteous.
As for the rest, I simply pointed out that we don't have the TeX
expertise to implement a version string that specifies XEmacs, as you
requested, and suggested that the fastest way to get it done is to do
it yourself, since the AUCTeX project is certainly overflowing with
TeX expertise. And it's true that submitting an issue to the tracker
makes our response more reliable and quicker. What's uncooperative or
discourteous about saying those things?
By the way, you or your users can submit bugs to the tracker by using
M-x report-xemacs-bug, which automatically registers a user for the
submitting email address. Since you don't use XEmacs, you can just
also insert "[issue]" as the first non-whitespace content in the
Subject field.[1] (The tracker monitors XEmacs Beta for issues and
reports generated by `report-xemacs-bug'.)
Footnotes:
[1] This creates a new issue; to respond to an old one, you'll need
supply the full issue tag such as [issue23456]. The tracker doesn't
understand email threads yet.
