Same here. I stopped trying to debug some gnus issues when I could no
longer easily compile and install new versions independently of emacs.
(I use a port of emacs for macOS, so I cannot simply recompile emacs. I
need to wait until the changes are incorporated in that port.) It would
be too bad if the same happened with org mode.
