Yes.

However, I'm still skeptic whether we should upgrade emba because of
emacs-module-tests. Instead, I have tagged module--test-assertions--* as
:unstable on emba, and I have reenabled emacs-module-tests there. Let's
see how it goes. If the tests run through, I will close this bug report.

Best regards, Michael.
