I wonder if the following code found in all byte-compiled files still
makes sense:
;;; This file uses dynamic docstrings, first added in Emacs 19.29.
(if (and (boundp 'emacs-version)
(< (aref emacs-version (1- (length emacs-version))) ?A)
(or (and (boundp 'epoch::version) epoch::version)
(string-lessp emacs-version "19.29")))
(error "`simple.el' was compiled for Emacs 19.29 or later"))
Emacs 19.29 was released 13 years ago. It is nice to be backwards
compatible, but as some point such things should be dropped.

Indeed, this should be dropped: our byte-compiled files won't even work
in Emacs-22 anyway.

So should it be removed altogether, or replaced with a test for Emacs > 22?

Oh, there already is a test for that when appropriate.
