Hi Vladimir,

Mainline Emacs version of CEDET has moved past CEDET on sourceforge due 
to major changes to eieio.  At this point it is not possible to use SF 
version with newer Emacsen.

I have been posting minor patches to Emacs for missing features from SF 
version, but it is slow going as I have limited time, and I don't have a 
continous release from my company.  Eventually I'd like to move some of 
the tools not in Emacs into melpa after updating them to work with newer 
Emacs, but it will be a while without help.
