This is a valid point in general. However, Org mode already fails when
you try to load it using Emacs 24 (correct me if I am wrong). So, Org
cannot be used with Emacs 24 de-facto. Yet, nobody complained and I do
not see much point keeping partial compatibility.

There is a reason to keep old compatibility code only when Org works in
general and only some new optional libraries cannot be used. This is not
the case for Emacs 24, AFAIK.

Best,
Ihor
