Org can. However, breaking Emacs builds is not the main purpose of
org-assert-version. The bigger problem I am trying to solve is obscure
breakage when people upgrade Org mode or mix built-in and newer Org mode
in their init files.

That's what the patch I shared is about. But I still need to check that
the patch will not break detection of loading mixed Org versions from
init.el.
