See Even though it would be useful to do such autoload, I cannot allow it. This will unfortunately lead to annoying bugs we face every single major Org release - mixing multiple Org versions. Because Elisp does not have a robust versioning of libraries, the version of ol.el that will be used as a source of for `org-link-set-parameters' will depend on the loading order of org vs. mu4e in the user init. If mu4e is loaded early, running `org-link-set-parameters' will trigger an autoload cookie for built-in Org mode. Later, when packaged Org mode is loaded, things will get crazy because of mixing multiple library versions and half-initialized variables. Canceled. Also, https://github.com/djcb/mu/pull/2798 will not work if Org is not yet loaded when `package-initialize' is called. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
