I have just decided the following:

1. I will concentrate completelly on porting GNU autoconf 2 and the latest version of GNU m4.
2. I will then start the port of GNU emacs 19.34b, which has been the stable version since the end of August.
3. I will gradually drop support of GNU emacs 19.28. Full drop is predicted to be at the end of summer 1997. Until then, I will provide bug fixes for problems found, and put bug fixes from emacs 19.34b in 19.28 as well, whenever applicable. Fixes for emacs 19.28 will of course be applied to emacs 19.34b as well, whenever applicable.
