Well, it's the only argument that is at all persuasive from the point
of view of an upstream maintainer. "Use this cool stuff and emacs
will be better, because ..." is a hell of a lot more persuasive than
"Use this cool stuff or we'll kill emacs."
Nobody killed emacs. It is in the repository. Just not installed by
default and hasn't been for a long time now. XMMS was dropped before
from the default set because it was relying on GTK1 which made it the
only default desktop application that didn't support the internalization
and accessibility features. If applications don't get the improvements
users expect in modern desktop sometime or the other these applications
are likely to be sidelined. Not saying that Emacs is in such a position
now though.
