It was my naive attempt at fixing the "invalid-function
org-assert-version" error several people reported.

Yes: I thought `org-assert-version' job was to help catching mixed
installations, so my reasoning was that, even when an old org-macs
version has been loaded, autoloading `org-assert-version' would help
report about mixed installation.

Also you're right about org-loaddefs.el, we should keep it.

That said, do you have any idea how to fix the bug people encounter
when installing Org from ELPA and being bitten by "invalid-function
org-assert-version"?
