I would be happy with simply documenting this limitation and documenting a
solution, e.g. using enumitem one.  Enumitem is a wonderful package, but I
see no reason to add it as a standard package because of this.

Do any of you have a place in mind where we could add this to the manual?
How about the "Plain lists in LaTeX export".  I propose the following
change.  WDYT?  Can I commit/push?

 Plain lists accept two optional attributes: @code{:environment} and
 @code{:options}.  The first one allows the use of a non-standard environment
-(e.g., @samp{inparaenum}).  The second one specifies additional arguments for
+(e.g., @samp{itemize*} of @samp{enumitem}).  The second one specifies 
additional arguments for
 that environment.
 
 @example
-#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment compactitem :options [$\circ$]
-- you need ``paralist'' package to reproduce this example.
+#+latex_header: \usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
+Some ways to say "Hello":
+#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment itemize* :options [label={}, itemjoin={,}, 
itemjoin*={, and}]
