Well, there might be a few rough edges, but I guess that the quality of
the new exporter might overweigh them (I don't know for sure, I don't
use Org exporter /at all/).

Also, I started with updating my Emacs to 24.3, though it was probably
not strictly necessary - but it made using Elpa easier than with v23
(it was possible then, but in v24 it Just Works™ out of the box).

Best,
