That's one of the reasons I appreciate Org so much (and the Emacs community in general): stability. I know that no one will yank the rug out from under me like that. :) I'm not really so concerned about this proposed change, it just seemed like a good time to mention it. Just curious, by "major version of Org", do you mean the first digit, e.g. 8.x.x->9.x.x, or the second digit, like 8.1->8.2? I guess you mean the first, semver-style, but Org's been around longer than that spec's been a "spec", so I thought I'd ask to be sure.
