Perhaps we should just all quit and find other hobbies.

This is not on the table. Rather, the (tentative) proposal from the emacs side is for some packages to be developed in the GNU ELPA repository, and be extracted from there and bundled with emacs release tarballs (in addition to being released in ELPA). Org is sometimes cited as an example of a package that would benefit from this strategy, but there has been no discussion of this from the org side, and AFAIK no decision has been made whether we=E2=80=99d take advanta= ge of this facility if/when it=E2=80=99s available. > > If the manpower does not exist to support both a maint and a master > branch, maybe they should be merged.
