Well, I mostly keep emacs-26 around for clojure development. The clojure
development packages I installed ie: CIDER, sesman, clojure-mode, do not
seem to be fully supported by emacs-28. They are not fully featured unless
I use emacs-26. It’s like whoever developed them did not intend them
to be forward compatible.
