I would simply say that a serious Gnus bug, as well as a serious VM
bug is a showstopper for XEmacs, because a lot of people uses these
packages in XEmacs.

Whether you call Gnus and VM the core technology or not is primarily a
matter of wording.  The fact is that these packages are indispensable
to a large number of people, and their break would render the said
version of XEmacs useless.

Of course, all of this applies to *serious* bugs only.  A small bug
(as is the one with sparse threads) shouldn't slow down XEmacs
releases at all.
