It would be possible to make only the cursor type change option depend on v30. The reason v30 is needed is that buffer-local cursor-type changes are too confusing, if you show the same org buffer in more than one window. I.e. if the cursor is inside hidden-marker text in one window, and outside in the other, we shouldn't change both cursors! Only v30 offers window-tied cursor types.
