There is no way to talk you that out? I mean why do you want to remove the compatibility code for the 12+branch? You could just *explicitly* state that Xemacs compatibility is not guaranteed anymore and the user could still try to compile auctex and use it at the *own* risk. The user base is small anyhow.
