Well, I don't really remember if any decision has been made.

Supporting different (broken) versions of MULE is already pretty
annoying, IMHO, and it makes the code harder to understand.

I think it will become increasingly annnoying to support 20.7 (with
lots of conditional code) when Emacs 22 finally switches to Unicode.

In general, I think it would be nice to remove some of the
compatibility cruft while we can still remember the reason why it was
there.
