Uh? What I pointed out was that new code wouldn't work with old Emacsen.

Maybe I misunderstood your proposal?  As far as I can tell, the change you propose will force me to write every `message' call like this in my packages:
 
(if (< emacs-version 26)
    (message "Hello, `world'!")
  (message "Hello, %`world%'!"))

Am I missing something?

Clément.
