Could you please elaborate on how exactly we can determine if a commit
changes the compatibility status? We can indeed catch some cases by
running tests on older Emacs versions, but it is by no means a reliable
measure.

Also, I just tried to run make EMACS=emacs-25 test, and it fails on bugfix.
Yet, Org can be usable on Emacs 25, but not fully.

Best,
Ihor
