Maybe a show of hands is needed:

How many people are using org with emacs-22?

What version of org are they using?

Why are they still using emacs-22?

The answers would at least give us an idea of the magnitude of the
problem. But declaring emacs-22 unsupported as of some (past) version of
org seems eminently reasonable to me. Adding a recommended course of
action to the FAQ might be the only thing needed (if anything is needed
at all).
