I also vote for removing the dot and ditaa block types from
org-exp-blocks, left over from before the existence of begin_src blocks.
As the original developer of org-exp-blocks, I no longer maintain it in
favor of focusing on begin_src blocks.
The only downside to removing these block types is breaking existing
Org-mode files... Perhaps we could add a deprecation warning which will
appear as a message every time a begin_dot or begin_ditaa blocks is
evaluate, then after a month or so of warning we can remove those blocks
entirely.
