Previous Emacs versions are not a concern, because we can rely on the
implementation details there. It is the new Emacs versions where
implementation details may change that are the concern. That's why I
decided to consult emacs-devel - if we cannot rely on these details, we
will add maintenance burden upon us to track internal implementation
changes in man/woman.

They are already mirrored. Mostly. Consider the same Org file opened by
different users with `org-man-command' set to 'man and 'woman.

woman is not trying to be complete. See [[info:woman#Introduction]].
For Org support, we already support it, and it would be a feature
regression if we remove it.
