Isn't one enough? :-)
The XEmacs Review practice wrt to emacs-version>= is to query the
patch author if a feature test couldn't be used instead. About half
the time in my experience the author makes a reasonable case (eg, if a
package depends on multiple features that all came available with a
certain version).
I like Stefan's idea though; I think I'm going to implement it. It
should sufficiently annoy people that they'll book up on Ben's new
suite of warning control APIs, too. :-)
