Unfortunately it is not clear that this is the right thing to do because nearly every feature of org may work on old versions. Should we put users through the pain of having to fight the metadata saying that they can't run org on an old version of emacs when only a tiny subfeature may or may not be broken? For example, I can load the current version of org and go through most of my normal workflows without issue on 25. Package-Requires does not mean what it says, what it actually means is "actively does not work on any versions not specified" which is not true if we were to say >=26 and would make users' of older versions of emacs lives harder. What this means is that we could say >=25 (which is what org.el current has by listing 25.1) because it is possible to load current versions of org-mode on 25 but not on 24 (which works only at 9.4.6 at 652430128896e690dc6ef2a83891a1209094b3da).
