I am not sure what you mean by "moving forward".  Sure, the world can  
survive withoout an XEmacs package for Org-mode.

However, even if the package would not be up-to-date, it would be  
nice if XEmacs users would get some version simply with the sumo  
tarball.  Would lower the the entry borders quite a bit in my  
opinion.  Lets not forget that not everyone is as happy to download a  
new version of a package frequently as we are here...

Anyway, just a thought.  I will continue to support XEmacs as much as  
I can, within the limits of available time.  But that support already  
has some holes, most importantly columns view does not work with it  
and the difficulties to make it work are so substantial that I am not  
expecting to ever get around to it.

We should all thank Gregory Chernov again for porting noutline to  
XEmacs - without that I would have given up long ago.
