If not, would this be a desirable feature, or do we prefer to always display everything? Context: I noticed that, on Emacs 24.3, package.el will list packages that depend on emacs-24.4, even though they are completely uninstallable. I realise package.el has changed a lot since 24.3, but I didn't find a straightforward way to check if this has changed, given that there are no packages that depend on version > 24.4 (thus my question).
