Today, we are interested in knowing whether Org is compatible with
Emacs 28.1, Emacs 27.1 and Emacs Emacs 26.1.

Ideally, this means maintainers run the test suite against these
versions in order to check that bugfixes and/or new features don't
introduce incompatible code.

We don't need to run tests against Emacs <=25: if Org runs okay on
Emacs <=25, it's good.  If not, users can report it: maintainers are
not bound to fix such incompatibilities and we don't need to know or
to announce them beforehand since we don't make a promise that Org
will run with Emacs <=25.

On https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html I added this:

  It does not mean that Org will not be usable, at least partially,
  with older Emacsen: but maintainers are not bound to fix bugs
  reported on them.

WDYT?
