As I see it, the main reason for Org to use a separate repository
is to gather an active community around a central place.
Regular Org testers don't want to rebuild Emacs each time they have
to test a new feature in Org.
Doesn't bzr allow them to do all the same things while
using the Emacs repository?
There is no legal reason for not using the Emacs repository as the
canonical repository for Org. Just a practical one: doing so would
force us to maintain the canonical Org repository in Emacs *and*
another repository for things that are useful to Org and that cannot
be part of Emacs.
I am concerned that this practice is harmful.
Would we want these things to be part of Emacs?
If not, then it isn't a problem.
But if so, distributing them with Org in this way
is undermining our efforts.
