Hiding in the ox-taskjuggler thread is a discussion of some of the problems
caused by having contrib bundled up in the org-plus-contrib package. (See
that thread for the details.)
However, a general question remains, as asked by Tim Cross, whom I will
quote if I may:
There are also some other alternatives on the emacs-devel list from when

So, is there an answer to this good and as-yet unanswered question about
unbundling contrib into its own package?
cheers,
Simon
