Since Emacs 24.4, iswitchb is marked as obsolete:
--------------------------------------------------
This function is obsolete since 24.4;
use `icomplete-mode' or `ido-mode' instead.
--------------------------------------------------
Do people use `org-iswitchb' much? If so, it might be time to get it to
default to ido or icomplete.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your comment.

First, there's already the variable org-completion-use-ido which also
affects org-switchb. Second, I don't know if there's a point in
/removing/ the support for org-completion-use-iswitchb. E.g. Debian still
has an old version of Emacs.
What you could do is make ido the default backend, especially if
icomplete-mode is obsolete. E.g. in org-switchb you would edit this
statement to default to ido, preferably only if icomplete is obsolete:
(unless (or org-completion-use-ido org-completion-use-iswitchb)
(setq org-completion-use-iswitchb t))
You could also update the docstring of `org-completion-use-iswitchb'.
See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html for the details.
Cheers,
Rasmus
