This is not entirely true. I got org 8.0.X to work with Xemacs 21.5.X
and Michael Sperber also got to work, I think an even more recent version
of org mode, but I do not remember the details. It is true however that
a lot of functionalities were missing compared to GNU emacs 25.1 which I use
currently.
It also true that no Xemacs hacker really was willing to help out the
compatibility problems (so removing compatibility code is not a big
surprise and in fact it has happened before with gnus, and as it is most
likely to happen with auctex in the near future). But given the
email exchange on Xemacs beta in October last year about closing the
whole Xemacs project, this comes barely as a surprise.
