Revert any commit you want to your heart's content. Note however, that
I deleted my corresponding local branches, so you may want to do some
back-up prior to this.

I'm lost here. There is only one change so far in development branch
that does not require Emacs 24.3+. What do you want to put in 8.4 that
cannot fit in 8.3.2 or 8.3.3?

Could you explain a bit what naming scheme you have in mind?

It's still not clear what information you're after. Switching to lexical
binding, counting on cl-lib.el, and so on, is the way to go. What do you
expect in delaying this change?
