I'm not sure I understand: feature like what?  If you are talking
about having several Emacs versions installed on the same system, then
I think we already support that: I use that all the time.  That's why
we install various files in version-specific directories.

If you mean something else, please elaborate.  (The bug discussion is
very long, and the above quote is from a tangent, so I'm not sure it's
worth my while reading all the discussion from the beginning trying to
understand what is being alluded to here.)
