It's sort of irrelevant to the current discussion, but Gnus has
never
supported XEmacs all that well IMO, mostly due to the extents (which
can be trained to DTRT about copying headers) vs. overlays + text
properties issue. But this is exactly where upstream removing
compatibility code will hurt.

Well I beg to differ: gnus has worked all these years reasonable well in
the sense that:
- it compiled without much trouble (which cannot be said say of org
mode, which, after compiling, spits out a impressive list of
unknown functions.
- I cannot see much of a difference feature wise when I use it with
Xemacs versus when I use it with GNU emacs (which cannot be said
for example for auctex, which has quite a list of features which
are *not* implemented for Xemacs). But maybe I don't use enough
of the function of the never ending list of features gnus offers.
