I hope they are reading this. (Personally, I'd expect the back-ends for at least the most popular languages be ready before the switch to the new API and the new UI, but that's me.)
CEDET has been lagging quite a bit. Even the completion-at-point-functions (available since 24.1) support was only added half a year ago.
There seems some confusion here: you do now invoke xref-find-function. It's not a function anyway, it's a variable, which different backends can set to implement the backend interface.Then the confusion is the doc string's fault: it should make this aspect clear. And if there are no back-ends currently that support these options, I'd suggest to remove that from the doc string -- we shouldn't advertise in the docs stuff that no one implemented.
The doc string is about the interface: as long as a given backend implements the `references' action, `M-x xref-find-references' will display the returned list.
Please feel free to suggest better wording for the docstring.
