I do not.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Emacs Lisp is a programming
language, i.e., derived from `prog-mode', whereas Org is about text,
i.e., ultimately derived from `text-mode'. Let's compare text modes with
text modes.

The only mode derived from `text-mode' with comments I can think of is
`rst-mode'. And it doesn't fill comments at all. We might do the same
for the sake of consistency...

Org doesn't support this variable. It doesn't even use "newcomment.el".
There is a simple reason for that: many functions in "newcomment.el"
assume comments may start anywhere on a line. This is not possible in
Org. "newcomment.el" is not meant for the `text-mode' family.
