OK, I understand. I was just curious about why 24.4 and not 24.3,
since 24.4 does not add that much from a developer's point of view.

I don't mean the rushing in general, I meaning the rushing between
the feedback you asked for and the move to commit things that assume
the answer has been given.
RMS replied to the question on emacs-devel:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/188810
He suggests to continue supporting Emacs 23.
So my suggestion still stands:
- let's keep master in the current compatibility state since the
question you asked still needs to be answer (it's just 10 days
since it was asked).
- let's use a dedicated branch for commits requiring Emacs 24.3+.
Maybe we will end up distributing Org 8.3+ for Emacs 23.1 and
Org 9+ for Emacs 24.3+ -- I don't know.
Let's take 10-15 days to build a strategy together, with feedbacks
from various sources and information we share. We need this time
to consider the question seriously. Please revert the changes in
master that assume Org needs Emacs 24.3+.
Thanks,
