When you say requirement, it is a good idea to say "requirement to
which parties or requirement in which context".
I am running Debian Squeeze. The pandoc that gets bundled with this
debian version doesn't support citeproc stuff. IIRC, to upgrade to
recent pandoc I would have to update one of the core haskell
libraries. I am reluctant to upgrade my debian. Believe me, if I had
quick access to pandoc-hs, there would be a ox-pandoc-citeproc already
in the tree by now. (No I am not joking.)
The spririt of Free Software (and definitely Emacs) is to ACCOMODATE
MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS implementations of same functionality. One good
example is a todo-mode.el (which ships by default on Emacs). I would
venture to say, obsoleting a package is taboo.
By saying "bibtex is not a requirement", I hope you don't mean to
imply that bibtex users are any less blessed or less holy or that
their needs wouldn't be "readily" catered to.
(My intention is NOT to fight with you. I am merely emphasizing that
pandoc/haskell is a recent development and there are some practical
problems associated with making THIS CUTTING EDGE package a
REQUIREMENT that other ORG USERS MUST depend on. You can call me a
lazy bum!)

Thanks.
