Rasmus' ranking of org mode sources interested me, so I tried to satisfy
my curiosity is all. I hope you didn't think I was disagreeing with his
decision not to be bothered using Org mode packages. I certainly
understand it. I made the same decision wrt the elpa version of Org
mode after struggling with mixed installations--life is too short!
I do have a technical question that you or someone else on the list
might be able to answer for me. When I downloaded the Babel languages
from melpa just now, the elpa version of Org mode was also downloaded
and installed, even though I didn't ask for it. Why is this? Can it be
disabled? Must the elpa Org mode be installed and activated in order for
the Org mode packages to work?
All the best,
Tom
