I'm not sure I understand: feature like what? If you are talking about having several Emacs versions installed on the same system, then I think we already support that: I use that all the time. That's why we install various files in version-specific directories. If you mean something else, please elaborate. (The bug discussion is very long, and the above quote is from a tangent, so I'm not sure it's worth my while reading all the discussion from the beginning trying to understand what is being alluded to here.)
