These are three different issues, right?

Not including new compat code is one thing, but why remove what is
already there?

How is the Gnus code base not up to modern standards?  Why would 
bring it up to snuff require removing compat code?

And these two issues can be dealt with regardless of where the Gnus
development occurs; moving it to the Emacs trunk means only people 
running git Emacs can use/work on the latest Gnus.
