I think we don't need to worry about pre-20 versions in the
documentation except in the sections pertaining to history.

Even pre-21 would in my opinion be irrelevant: features that first
appeared in Emacs 21.1 can, in my opinion, just be explained without
bothering to say when they were introduced.
