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
