Their manuals doesn't mention anything, it seems.  The internet
suggests that there might be between memoir and wrapfig, but I didn't
look into it as I don't know much about memoir.

Note: I should be obvious that I prefer to load as little stuff be
default as possible.  That is: I'm biased, but it's OK when everyone
knows.

Note the package loading order might matter.

and subscripts.  And sometimes math (e.g. align).

Assuming a mechanism exists that can detect when tabu is to be loaded
why only apply it there and not to the other optional packages?

Alternative implementation exists, but they are of course not
supported by Org.  Would they be in conflict?  I doubt it.

It does seem a bit arbitrary.

Bu people who feel strongly about not loading some stuff can change
default package alist so it's not a big issue.
