Why not just let things break when incompatible changes in Org macros
are installed?  We do that for any other Lisp file in the repository
that defines macros used by other files.  Why cannot Org do the same
when it is compiled as part of the Emacs build?

IOW, why not simply disable the version test as part of the Emacs
build, and leave the breakage for those cases where (a) changes in
macros are really incompatible and (b) they affect Org code that is
being run as part of the build?
