No.

So you're proposing to distribute a compatibility library in Emacs
that outside packages will have to include (because it is not enough
for Emacs to have it, outside packages will need to duplicate it, and
keep it up-to-date).

A compatibility library that should make the Emacs trunk compatible
with any other Emacs out there (at the very least, several Emacs
releases and perhaps most XEmacs releases, not to count SXEmacs).

So you're suddenly moved the burden of compatibility with anything out
there to the Emacs maintainers. And this is a simplification
because...?

But hey, please don't let my doubts dissuade you about creating such
library and including it in EmacsW32 :-)
