This is a misunderstanding. I said I wanted to move support for certain
languages and project types into ELPA, not CEDET core. I'm still of the

CEDET and Gnus are not external anymore. Both have abandonded their
upstream repos and moved to Emacs, because the faster development of
Emacs has made that necessary.
