The text is mostly clear. However, there is a slight confusion about
actual current Emacs version vs. planned Emacs version.

Emacs 28 is have not been officially released yet. So, the "current
major version of Emacs" is 27 and we are theoretically committed to
Emacs 27, 26, and 25. Both on main and bugfix.

On the other hand, we do know that Org 9.5 (bugfix) is going to be
packaged together with Emacs 28 when it is out. Also, we do not yet know
the time when Emacs 28 is going to be released (it can be even, say, a
year from now). Will it happen before Org 9.6 (main)? Maybe. Maybe not.
And some people are already using main branch. Should we target
"current" Emacs 28 for main? Should we target Emacs version+1 as current
on main all the time or maybe just when new Emacs release branch is
created, but not yet released? It is not fully clear.

Best,
Ihor
