You seem to be arguing with a point I wasn't making. Release milestones
are fine, but the current plan for doing them is too much work for the
people involved. Couldn't a simpler way work?

Interesting.

This sounds like the foot-shooting argument again. Could one not just
as easily harm one's foot with the master version from git? Or is the
assumption that only git users are smart enough to wield the power?
Maybe Org is so powerful that it should not be released via by ELPA at
all, for the sake of everyone's appendages.
All the best,
Terry
