Org-mode is (for me) one of the best candidates to move to elpa.git exactly for that reason: the main issue is to avoid having separate branches. Moving it to elpa.git doesn't impose any extra hassle of backward compatibility since it's already distributed separately and hence already has to cater to backward compatibility. But that doesn't apply to all packages. Stefan
