While it's true that both Emacs and XEmacs fail on a number of points for inclusion in Core such as using a modern toolkit¹, we should remember that one of the primary targets for Fedora Core is "free software hacker", and many, many of us still use an emacsen. ¹ I'm aware of work to have Emacs and XEmacs use GTK+ for menus and such, but to really be useful they need to use e.g. Pango for buffer display.
