We should document this in the manual and in the announcements...

- Gnus 5.10.10 works with Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21.4/21.5.  Users of
  Emacs 22 should use Gnus 5.11 bundled with Emacs 22.2.  Users of
  Emacs 23 (trunk), shouldn't use Gnus 5.10 at all.

- No Gnus 0.8 works with Emacs 21/22 and XEmacs 21.4/21.5.  Users of
  Emacs 23 (trunk), should use either the bundled Gnus 5.13 or Gnus
  trunk (when Gnus trunk is newer).

Bye, Reiner.
