I think that's an incorrect characterisation (see statements that Makarius made 
on the Proof General mailing list).
AFAICT, Isabelle moved to jEdit because that's what the authors liked 
programming in, and because they didn't particularly care about Emacs support — 
which did cause some frustration in the Isabelle community, btw.

What elements make you think Emacs policies had anything to do with it?
Clément.
