If there is more to be said about the following from the perspective of org-mode, let's continue the discussion on that list only. I believe org mode interacts with BBDB, too. Yet I know little to nothing about the details. From the org-mode perspective, is there a similar issue with BBDB 2 vs. BBDB 3, as mentioned by Thomas about EUDC? The long-term goal is to make at least the core of BBDB 3 part of GNU Emacs to provide a more coherent framework for other packages like EUDC and Org mode, see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-11/msg01888.html Are there any thoughts about this from the org community? Here I am thinking also about the code in BBDB: my re-write of BBDB mostly focused on BBDB "by itself" and its interface with MUAs like Gnus, Rmail, etc. Is there anything you would like to see to facilitate the interaction of BBDB with other packages like Org mode (or EUDC)?
