We have already too little manpower to support the coming release.

One has to be aware that in the case of XEmacs, this is snake oil.
XEmacs' code base, while frequently released, has not yet even caught
up to Emacs-21.0 in core areas. The packages, while frequently
released, are often in a state of disarray and various levels of
outdatedness. XEmacs-21.5 is quite unstable. And so on. There is
the occasional package that is kept more up to date in that manner,
but the overall effect is not consistently convincing to me.
