Alright.  Seems that the discussion died down and there was never the fix
and
reversion we (presumably?) agreed on. So I think if the incompatible
string-something has
been now replaced by the replace-regexp-something that is compatible, we
should now
put the 26.1 in the header again.  If everyone agrees, I ask someone with a
Emacs
master/emacs-28 checkout nearby to do that change and also bump
flymake.el's version.

Robert maybe? Thanks in advance.
