No, please don't.  If you want to keep that data, keep it in the
affected files, not in a separate file.

How 'bout a pseudo-header like

   Should-work-in: Emacs-trunk

This way it can also be used for other cases such as

   Should-work-in: XEmacs

or

   Should-work-in: Emacs≥23

For multifile packages, we could put that pseudo-header only in the
main file.  And arguably, it would be good to associate a date with this
info, like

   Should-work-in: Emacs≥20  (Nov 2006)

so as to get some vague idea of whether maybe it's time to update the
"Should-work-in".

PS: I recently bumped into:

 ((and (not (featurep 'xemacs))
       (string-equal "19" (substring emacs-version 0 2))
       (or window-system
           (fboundp 'tmm-menubar)))     ; 19.30 - Will autoload if necessary

Does AUCTeX really still care about Emacs-19.30?
