Sure.  We already dropped everything older than Emacs 21 and XEmacs
21.4 for No Gnus.

But actually I was aiming in the opposite direction...

I don't think it makes too much sense to claim compatibility to Emacs
20.7 and XEmacs 21.1 if none of the developers actually is willing or
able to test Gnus with these old versions anymore.

... still applies.  So Emacs 20.7 users can still use Gnus 5.10.8.

Bye, Reiner.
