I understand this inclination but I disagree. Org is made of many areas and partial backward-compatibility can still be useful. When people report compatibility problems with Emacs <26, we can guide them so that they enhance org-compat.el. It is not because we don't promise compatibility for Emacs < 26 that we should prevent backward-compatibility for Emacs < 26, and the all-or-nothing approach would actually prevent it. I hope this is convincing enough :) --=20 Bastien
