I do think it is probably time to drop support for Emacs 24 in the next

I've added a section called "Compatibility with Emacs versions" on
this page: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html
We now make it clear that latest Org stable aims at being compatible
with Emacs current stable, and the two previous one.
That is: Org 9.4.6 is compatible with 27.x, 26.x and 25.x but maybe
not with 24.x (24.1 being 9 years old now).

Should not it be updated?
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html:
For example, if the current major version of Emacs is 28.x, then the
latest stable version of Org should be compatible with Emacs 28.x, 27.x
and 26.x – but not with Emacs 25.x.
Ubuntu-18.04 bionic is a Long Time Support release (April 2018),
emacs-25.2.2 provided from system repository. Maybe it should be
supported even though next LTS release Ubuntu-20.04 focal is available.
