Interesting. I made that assumption based on the org-contrib git log,
which showed edtries for this module back in 2010.

Still, I don't think that invalidates any of the points I was
making. The module has not been part of core for over 12 months and this
is the first mention of it. I think we should wait 12 months and see how
the maintenance and development of the module goes. After 12 months, if
there is still interest in moving it into core and if it has sufficient
documentation, examples and unit tests, this can be reviewed.
