All the built-in packages will be affected. Let's first try to report and see what the reply is. https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=63800 >> The second instance in README.org may then be altered according to what >> ELPA devs do. > > Users may open README.org outside of ELPA.

But, as I said, let's first ask Emacs devs what will be the best formulation for alternative instructions. I do not want to invent something when we can just ask others. > Another pitfall with install instruction in an .org file is that if the > file is opened in Emacs < 29 then package.el generates mixed-versions > .elc files.

We are still discussing ways to improve `org-assert-version'. Maybe extra instructions here are not necessary. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
