E.g. I'm currently on my distribution-packaged version of Emacs 25, but would really like to use the mhtml-mode introduced in Emacs 26. Wouldn't it make sense to add these type of packages in ELPA as well for all the older Emacs versions out there? Sometimes we can do that, but IIRC mhtml-mode depends on the newer versions of several built-in packages, so it's a more difficult case.
