In every .elc file, there's this section:

;;; 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 "`boxquote.el' was compiled for Emacs 19.29 or later"))

Is that info still relevant? If not, please consider removing it.

I had brought this up some time ago:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-11/msg00299.html>

There were some positive replies, but otherwise nothing happened.

Yes, I have just read the thread. It seems there is consensus on what
to do. Unfortunately, no one has actually done anything about it. A
pity.
