It's a tradeoff, though, as the runtime logic makes the code harder to
maintain and (particularly) to test, and at some point it becomes more
trouble than it's worth. This is why Gnus dropped support for Emacs 22 a
couple of years ago. Even if ELPA packages should work on current and
previous Emacs versions, today I would think that they shouldn't have to
worry about porting to Emacs 23 or earlier, and that a package's
maintainer can determine whether the cutoff is 22, 23, or even 24.
