Is this a good time to update the org version in emacs-25 branch?

Version 25.1 of the Emacs text editor is now available.

For more information on Emacs, see:

You can retrieve the source from your nearest GNU mirror by using one

You can choose a mirror explicitly from the list at:
  http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html

Mirrors may take some time to update; the main GNU ftp server is at:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/

Highlights of this release include:

  - Emacs can now load shared/dynamic libraries (modules)

  - Experimental support for Cairo drawing

  - Enhanced network security (TLS/SSL certificate validity and the
    like)

  - New minor mode 'electric-quote-mode' for using curved quotes as you
    type

  - Character folding support in isearch.el

  - Xwidgets: a new feature for embedding native widgets inside Emacs
    buffers

  - New and improved facilities for inserting Unicode characters


There are many more changes; for a summary see the etc/NEWS file,
which you can view from Emacs with `C-h n'.

For the complete list of changes and the people who made them, see the
various ChangeLog files in the source distribution.  For a summary
of all the people who have contributed to Emacs, see the etc/AUTHORS
file.

Printed copies of the Emacs manual are available for purchase from the
Free Software Foundation's online store at:
  http://shop.fsf.org/product/emacs-manual/

(The version on sale is updated for Emacs 24.2, but it remains a great
reference book for current Emacs, and buying a copy is a great way to
support the work of the FSF.)

Regards,
Nico

I'd like to release Org 9.0 first, but that's the topic of another
thread.

Besides, I don't know what is the status of Org wrt Emacs, since some
packages are going to be moved outside of Emacs core for development and
bundled with Emacs only at the time of release.

OK.

John and Eli can correct me on this, but from what I understand, major
infrastucture changes like moving the current core Emacs packages to GNU
Elpa and such would only happen in version 26.1 or later.

My understanding of this discussion is that this will not happen for
Emacs 25.x.  Master is going to feed into Emacs 26, while the Emacs 25
branch stays open for bugfixes that didn't make it into 25.1, for a
possibly quick(er) release of 25.2.

Achim.
