This can be used to require a minimal version of Emacs for a package. However, the version number for the `emacs' package is null in my Emacs build (a very recent bzr checkout), and the package description for the `emacs' package reads "abbrev mode commands for Emacs"!?! Here's the package description displayed by package.el: emacs is a built-in package. Status: Built-in. Summary: abbrev mode commands for Emacs And here's the relevant element of `package--builtins' from my finder-inf.el: (emacs . [nil nil "abbrev mode commands for Emacs"]) This breaks installation of any ELPA packages that depend on a minimum Emacs version.
