Yes, you are no doubt right.  He also mentioned a specific, late, version
of Emacs, which of course my solution will certainly not get you.

And it's a good question (how to try out a late version of emacs?), and
maybe docker really is the way to go, if you don't want to mess around with
compiling it yourself --- there must surely be a load of dependencies.

On the other hand, the version of emacs on flatpak is 27.2, so that would
be another possibility.
