Both of which rms deprecates as unclear, as I suspect you know.

David Kastrup):

    Terms such as ``Emacsen'' and ``(X)Emacs'' are not wrong, but they
    are not very clear, so it is better to write ``Emacs and XEmacs.''

It simply is not possible to phrase certain things in a way that
everyone will be comfortable with.
