I think the test should not be for "it is known to work with your Emacs"
but "is it known *not* to work with your Emacs".
If you know you use a feature of Emacs-25 without which your code won't
work, then the test is right but the message is wrong.
Else, you might want to relax your test (and change the message), or
replace the `error` with a `message`.
