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, Ihor
