      And yes, I
    have had people tell me "I'm sorry, I had an old executable running
    for some reason", resolving a bug report.

How did they run the old executables?  I doubt that they typed
emacs-MM.NN.OO.P to run one.  More likely they did `make install',
don't you think?  I could have done that, and not lost the old
executable.  But I don't want to run an old executable by mistake.
Having the old executables sit in src under their version-specific
names will not lead me to run an old executable unless I really want
to.
