I don't think that's a good idea.  Since 9.0.4, I've backported one
remaining commit from Emacs, I've adjusted :version in defcustoms to the
appropriate version for a sync targeting Emacs's master, and I've
cleaned up the spacing in a few places so that all the files pass
Emacs's pre-commit check.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I suspect we will, given that 9.0.1 -> 9.0.4 have all been released
since this November.

I don't believe that the target date has yet been set for releasing 26.1. We are currently on the release candidate testing stage of 25.2. So I will not be surprised if 26.1 get released even 3 months or 6 months from now. Eli? John?
