So I did have it backwards.  Hmm.

But this is a matter of when things are added to load-path.  If
something from the distribution is loaded before you setup your
load-path (before ,emacs), it gets very difficult to override it locally
(somewhat by design).  The load can also happen by dependency loads
before you get to setting up your local (Org) package.

I'll have to test when the distribution org is getting loaded.

Thanks
