I think I will let Joao take point on that.

Note that the Package-Requires header in emacs-28 doesn't matter much. 
The problem will arise when that change is merged to master and then 
(sometime later) the Version header is also bumped in flymake.el.

 From that POV your change in emacs-28 wasn't necessary either, but we 
can ignore that branch and fix it better on master (do the revert of the 
previous change).
