The plans were not very clear, no.  Just a general feeling that there's
a lot of opportunity for integration.  It has not materialized the way
we had hoped, admittedly.  I guess I'd consider the xref work as
something in that direction, although it happened more by replacing
CEDET's system than by integrating it.

For one, I'd like to see more major modes come with support for Semantic
right in the major mode's own definition (rather than have it part of
CEDET).  E.g. for Elisp mode, CC-mode, ...

The idea is to get to the point where Semantic support is just another
thing that a major mode should aim to support alongside syntax-tables,
indentation, font-lock, outline-minor-mode, ...
