If anybody like that appears, then I get to say, "Well > then, you get to maintain it!" and hand over the packages. :-) Just marking packages as deprecated is unlikely to be noticed by those users, it's mostly visible internally for packagers. I'd say that a clear "XEmacs will be removed" change that will be amplified by linux media is more likely to be noticed. But anyway, I don't think there's much to add here at this point. Let's wait to see if more voices appear after the holiday break is over.
