Well, the Ximian functionality has been integrated into the last three 
releases, only the look and feel wasn't there, but now the drakfirsttime 
wizard will at least put up the default Ximian theme.  And some of their 
standalone utilities will be found on our disks, but for an official 
Ximian for 8.2, look for it when 9.0 is being readied for release, if 
they continue their current trends, and of course I can't read monkey 
brains very well:-).  We are simply not their priority, at least we 
haven't been.
