See Emacs's master branch for a counter-example: even though 28.1 is not
out yet, emacs-version says "28.0.50", so one can determine that they're
running on the master branch.
It's clearly not a big deal; cf. below.

If a new major release is immediately merged to the maint branch, it
would be enough to have a followup empty commit on master, and tag that.
I'm not suggesting to do that though; I don't find empty commits very
elegant. IIUC, for the Emacs repository, the source of truth is not the
latest tag, but configure.ac's AC_INIT clause, so it takes a (decidedly
non-empty) bump-commit to increase the version. See e.g. 64fe67beff.

That's fair. My "use-case" was to conditionally swap RET and C-j for
Org<9.4, to palliate the lack of electric-indent-mode. It's far from a
critical problem, and there are other ways for me to solve this (rely on
fboundp, run "make ORGVERSION=9.4"…).
