What this mean is that there is no need for Tromey's repo or marmalade repo. Orgmode itself is a repo and can be used in `package-archives'. Since release tars are already made available on Orgmode.org servers, I think bandwidth costs are not much of a concern for those sponsoring Orgmode.org's hosting. --
