 The purpose of my request was to see if version 0.25 of tree-sitter 
 could be introduced so that codebases which were developed with the 
 older version in mind can be built without manually patching them to 
 support the newer tree-sitter ABI or manually installing the older 
 version outside of the core set of packages.
 
 There seems to be multiple other instances of things like this 
 happening, such as the `mdds`, `mdds1.2`, and `mdds2.0` packages under 
 `devel`, and considering that Emacs 30 is the current version and 31 
 isn't even close to being out yet, it's not like this is some ancient 
 and obsolete codebase. tree-sitter 0.26 only released about 3 months ago.
 
 I decided to ask on the off chance that something like that could happen 
 here as well. If not, then no hard feelings.
