I maintain the xemacs, xemacs-packages ("essential" packages from Sumo) and 
xemacs-packages-extra (the rest from the Sumo) packages in Fedora, but I 
don't know what you're referring to with "their track record" here.  Could 
you elaborate?

This is nothing new.  Fedora Core 6 (released in 2006) was the first Fedora 
version that shipped XEmacs 21.5.x.  Other distributions had moved on to 
21.5.x series even earlier.

BTW, it's "Fedora X", not "Fedora Core X" since Fedora 7 ;)
