Do you expect that some current users won't want to update?

I don't actually use it myself and just enable it temporarily if someone reports a bug or something. It's not that I am not interested in something like this package, but from the sound of it I would rather use your package than the old "org-bullet". If I remember correctly it, then it took some effort to contact sabof, but eventually they gave their blessing. Jonas
