I disagree with removing Org-mode from Emacs core, as I've explained elsewhere. > This won't fix all the issues as anyone installing a new major version when > an existing version is already loaded will run into the same problems. Bottom > line, as org stands now, upgrading when org is already loaded is problematic. It would be very unfortunate if we removed Org-mode from Emacs core with the sole motivation to band-aid an issue with upgrading packages in package.el. So I would put your above argument more bluntly: removing Org-mode from Emacs core would be to sweep the problem under the rug. package.el is still broken. Best regards, Stefan Kangas
