The reports of the death of XEmacs are greatly exaggerated.  Look
here:

http://list-archive.xemacs.org/pipermail/xemacs-patches/2010-February/

(and divide by 2 as most patches get posted twice, once by the
submitter and again by the commit 'bot).

You should also remember that SXEmacs also has a fair following now;
measuring only by the traffic on the XEmacs lists is not necessarily
representative of the interest in XEmacs APIs.
