"as much a later version as" is pretty much the same as "fork".
Anyway, that was a quote from the Emacs FAQ as distributed with Emacs.
I would prefer not using the word "fork" there because of its negative
associations. While the Emacs/XEmacs split certainly _is_ not
positive, there is really nothing to be gained anymore from stoking
the flames.

It better be, as we are distributing it with Emacs. I find it a bit
contorted myself, but I don't have a better suggestion to make that
would seem worth the effort of discussion and polishing.
