Hi Detlef,

If you rely on org-mode for some production-level things, wouldn't it be
most prudent to wait until the new exporter was shipped and fully tested
before migrating your work setup?  You'll still have all the
documentation for the older version in the mean time, and once the new
documentation is written, you'll be able to migrate with fewer
problems. 

This is the whole principle that drives Debian, Debian-testing, and
Debian-unstable.
