Yes, if I were allowed to still put the latest version in, I agree it would receive more testing inside Emacs. By not doing this, more people are lured into using the releases on orgmode.org. But I am sure the Emacs administrators have their good reasons - not all packages like org are so intensively tested that new bugs due to new features are generally found within a few days. - Carsten
