I have finally found your message in my archives. Do you now dare to
deny ever asking me not to work on XEmacs?

1) XEmacs-only packages -- meaning those that are not bundled with GNU
Emacs, for any of the various reasons.
2) The packages shared between XEmacs and GNU Emacs
Unless your aim is to help XEmacs and hurt the GNU project,
could you please work on the second group and not the first?
I wish that XEmacs and the GNU project were not rivals, but I don't
have the power to change the situation. If the XEmacs developers
start insisting on legal papers, and keeping proper legal records,
then there will no longer be a problem. But I can't do this, only
they can do this.
