I have recently been contacted by the current compat.el maintainer asking if we are willing to adapt compat.el in Org. Pros: 1. We will have less headache maintaining org-compat.el. 2. We will get an ability to use functions and macros from newer Emacs versions almost for free. Cons: 1. If compat.el happens to lack support of some function, we will need to contribute to compat.el directly and synchronize Org releases with compat.el releases.
