This was outlined by Yamamoto-san in this message:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/196996
Here's the relevant quotation from Yamamoto-san:
Originally, the Mac port was not intended for inclusion to the
main distribution, but for my private and classroom use. But if
the inclusion is useful and meaningful for many people, then I'll
make some effort to do that.
I have one concern about the inclusion of the Mac port, that is,
whether it can be merged with its full features. If not, then I'll
have to provide some additional patch anyway, and that's not
beneficial to the current users of the Mac port. In particular, I
suspect the inclusion of the following features might be controversial
whether they can be regarded as specific to Mac:
* Pixel-based mouse wheel smooth scroll for newer mice/trackpads.
* When the clipboard has both textual and image data, yank inserts
the former and push both into the kill ring so the latter can be
inserted with yank-pop afterwards.
* The function `mac-start-animation' provides several animation
effects via Core Animation. You can see the default
animations with buffer switching by horizontal
swiping/flicking (horizontal movement), exiting from the
splash screen by typing "q" (fade out), and the "About
Emacs" (ripple effect) and "Preferences..." menu items (swipe
effect) in the application menu in the menu bar.
* Emoji display, with support of variation sequences (text-style
vs. emoji-style) and modifiers (skin tones) if the font supports
them.
* Blend-and-blur of background color on OS X 10.10 and later
via face's stipple attribute: e.g., (set-face-stipple
'fringe "alpha:50%").
