Yes, we should have waited for the decision to be taken for this.

I don't know, but we have only little information on what impact such
a change will have.  Our best move for now is to ask on mailing lists,
collect information, then decide.

Also such a change needs to be advertized correctly, I'd rather have
it for Org 9.0 -- same for dropping XEmacs compatibility.

We don't need to complete the whole 8.x series and may jump to 9.0
soonish, but for the time being, I suggest you create a 9.0 branch
with the 24.3 requirement and changes that cannot go without it.

WDYT?
