The problem is that Gnus should run in older versions of Emacs as
well, when installed by itself. This may become a big problem
because many users simply can't upgrade. I'm not sure what to do.
Gnus is mainly useful to the GNU Project is as a part of Emacs.
Support for using new versions of Gnus in old Emacs versions is nice
if you want to do it, but it's not essential for Gnu.
I don' think this is a hard problem to solve, once you put your mind
to it.
