"Opposed" is the wrong word, I suppose. However, even such leading lights as Hrvoje, strongly sympathetic to both I18N and M17N, have pointed out many problems with the current implementation in their personal usages. And even Mule advocates admit that there is a definite and significant slowdown involved, although the magnitude is disputed. I personally never use a non-mule XEmacs[1], but at this point I cannot advocate removing the option to leave out Mule, or even make Mule the default.
