org.el contains the following:
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "25.1"))

So, if you install Org from ELPA using built-in Emacs package manager,
Org will fail to install on older Emacs versions (AFAIU). I am not sure
if package.el if going to fall back to earlier Org version though.

In addition, we might also announce the oldest supported Emacs version
in https://orgmode.org/Changes.html. Either manually, or as a part of
some automated release script. Bastien, WDYT?

Best,
