I understand your argument. However, I feel discouraged to contribute to
Emacs devel because, most of Org users will not benefit from such
contribution for a long time. Not until next several major versions of
Emacs will be released. So, I currently prefer to contribute some
backwards-compatible high-level code and leave Emacs core for future.

Best,
