I use this field, for example: ;; Compatibility: GNU Emacs 20.x, GNU Emacs 21.x, GNU Emacs 22.x However, the field value is free-form at present. A conventional form would let tools pick up the value. An advantage is locality of reference and update: some developers are more likely to update a file header field than a separate wiki page.
