I believe the main obstacle is that the emacs policy requires a texinfo
manual for all its component parts. If that can be generated
automatically from the org document, then any objections probably
disappear. Of course, Bastien might object to the extra effort required
to do the conversion, but if the conversion is indeed completely
automatic (or, perhaps more likely, a volunteer can be found to take
care of the conversion and any problems that might arise), then he might
be amenable to it. But it would be an extra step required at release
time and would require some coordination.
