I imagine it is technically possible, but the system is already
overloaded and not updating as often as it should, so this would have to
be instead of the current version rather than in addition to. I don't
see much point in simply trading one version of one of the many
libraries that Emacs can use for another version.

If you think about all the different ways Emacs can be compiled: without
X, with gtk2, with gtk3, with motif, with athena; and then about all the
different libraries it can use or not use; and then start adding
different versions of those libraries into the mix; and then about all
the platforms it can be built on...

Maybe someone has the resources to deal with all of that, and rebuild
all those versions multiple times a day - good luck to them! :)
