Sorry, I should have acknwledged that some while ago.  It's going to be a
tricky one to tackle, since it overturns the notion of a type being just
a type.

Yes, it is.

Right at the moment, I don't think this would be a good idea.  CC Mode is
also upstream from XEmacs, and bug reports come from that quarter, too.
It is convenient to be able to filter a mailbox for mails addressed to
*cc-mode*.  Mail to bug-gnu-emacs is much easier to lose in the sheer
volume of postings.
