How is this going to be managed?  After all, Gnus also works for
XEmacs.  If it is maintained straight in the Emacs CVS trunk, this
might affect the average stability experienced by XEmacs users.  If
we have just a one-way copy of gnus within Emacs, then we probably
need to make it explicitly read-only in some manner to avoid having
fixes disappear.
