Not really, because I don't know what's unclear about it.

I don't know what that means.

Isn't this out of your control?

Then I don't know what you mean by "no longer part of Gnus".

What do you mean by "Gnus" in this context? E.g., in my view,
mm-util.el is not part of Gnus (C-s gnus in this file shows it does
appear, but mostly in comments).

These words don't mean much to me since AFAICT rfc2047.el is already
independent from Gnus.
