It is if you are using Org from Git and you only want the autoload
definitions pulled in on startup and not the whole of Org plus most of
its dependencies.  This is what a

(require 'org-install)

did before the change to org-loaddefs.el.  You can't rely on some older
Org version in Emacs or whereever to supply the correct autoload
definitions, so you eitehr need to

(require 'org-loaddefs)

which is horribly wrong in case you're not sing Org from Git; or

(require 'org)

which is pulling in too much stuff on startup.

Org from Git is currently missing the first-level autoloads file that
was implicitly introduced for all other use-cases with that change
(loaddefs.el for vanilla Emacs and org-autoloads.el for package
manager).  I propose to re-introduce org-install.el for this purpose for
standalone Org.

Subject: [PATCH] Re-introduce org-install.el

* lisp/org-install.el: Delete from version control, is autogenerated
  again.  An empty file should be provided in Emacs and for ELPA as
  before.

* mk/org-fixup.el (org-make-org-loaddefs): Arrange for org-install to
  collect the "first-level" autoload definitions for standalone
  Org (like loaddefs.el for Emacs and org-autoloads.el for package
  manager).  The autoloads in org-loaddefs.el will be identical
  "second-level" for all installations.  The "first-level" autoload
  definitions are automatically loaded by EMacs or package manager,
  respectively.  For standalone Org, the user has to "(require
  'org-install)", as has been customary.

FIXME: this implementation does not support XEmacs.
