You never needed to do anything extra for using Org as it comes with
Emacs, the autoloads are automatically loaded from loaddefs.el.  The
distribution contained an empty org-install for ease of transition.

The package manager generates and loads its own autoload file
(org-autoloads.el, it also re-generates org-loaddefs.el in 7.9.2 and
later), so again you don't need to do anything extra there.

If you were using a seperate Org install (from tarball or Git),
org-install needed to be loaded for getting the correct autoload
definitions.  With the introduction of org-loaddefs, things have become
muddled: in Emacs and with package manager, org-loaddefs only contains
those autoload definitions that become available _after_ Org has been
loaded, and the generally visible autoloads come from either loaddefs.el
or org-autoloads.el respectively.  The standalone Org does not have a
second autoload file for these first level autoloads, so they are rolled
into org-loaddefs as well.  As a result, you must now load org (which in
turn loads org-loaddefs).  I still think it would be better if Org had a
separate first-level autoloads file that must be explicitly required by
the user (and it would probably be easiest if it was still called
org-install).
