Well, maybe yes. I'm not a big fan of everlasting backwards
compatibility.
But with flavours I've meant Emacs, XEmacs, and SXEmacs. It's totally
ok to drop support for old emacs versions, and projects like Gnus and
Org have done so. But dropping support for XEmacs or Emacs because the
function names diverge only because of modernization initiatives is
hardly warrantable.
A coordinated modernization campain across all emacs flavours is
probably quite unlikely...
