Is it really worth it to go through a separate deprecation step? xemacs users can switch to emacs after xemacs is removed. I see that you are concerned about the plugins, but maybe it's just better to drop xemacs and the plugins in one go. If we notify the plugins' maintainers now, they'll still have a few months to try to port them to emacs (if suitable and porting is actually necessary). Normally, I'd be in favour of "dragging out" the removal a bit, but in this case I think we don't need to, because of the relatively close replacement and the small number of users.
