I was just being pro-active.  24.1 and 24.2 are so buggy they should be 
withdrawn
(except on Windows ironically).  Given the many hours I have already spent 
debugging
these emacs bugs (which are fixed in 24.3), I don’t think we should do anything 
to
support these versions.  The users will be better off spending their time 
upgrading
rather than trying to fix what can’t be fixed.

Subject: Re: [emacs-ess/ESS] require Emacs 24.3 or higher (c7a2306)

Sorry, I haven't seen this (also the discussion on ESS-help was not at all 
completed)...
I rather read in the last version of this file that we do support Emacs 24 and 
25,
so I have committed small changes that should allow 24.2 ..
