No. A package that writes it like this will only be (properly) installable on Emacs 25 and up. Of course I'd never drop support for Emacs 24 on one of my packages just for the sake of this minor feature. But once I start routinely requiring Emacs 25.1 because of other features, I'll be glad to have this as a bonus. --047d7b3a8d0e4de71d051cf6ee51 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
