This, I must admit, is quite a good reason.  I do think of org as an
integral part of Emacs these days (org is my default mode essentially)
so hadn't stopped to think that without it being formally part of Emacs,
Emacs cannot depend on it.

Okay.  I'm convinced.  :-)

Will have to update emacs-snapshot more often then... although
unfortunately not available for my wee Pandora as far as I can see.  And
the thought of building Emacs on the Pandora sends me into a catatonic
state (600 MHz arm5 processor).
