Emacs is not just for its maintainers. It is above all for its users.
You don't say.
And plenty of users, for plenty of reasons, do not use the latest &
greatest version of Emacs.
They can continue using those, too.
Whose workflow? Are you saying that you are willing to sacrifice
a user's workflow & habits, so they can take advantage of the latest
shiny new features you have to offer? How gracious of you!
Sometimes, yes. As long as we don't do that too often, the cost/benefit
ratio should be decent.
Thank you for the compliment.
There can be plenty of things stopping a given user from adopting
your favorite modern whatever, including a VCS.
Yes. Some users will end up unhappy anyway (cue xkcd#1172), we just have
to try to maximize the benefits.
And keep an eye out for the future. Focusing exclusively on the existing
user base means you don't optimize for the new users, and when the older
generations pass away, Emacs is more likely to die with them.
Many users use tools, including Emacs that are installed
organization-wide (e.g., company-wide).
If a company mandates the version of Emacs, it could as well coordinate
it with the VCS the company uses.
