Bzzt. Wrong.

The defaults are set up to work out-of-the box for most free systems
with minimal fuzz.  Instructions on how to change them if your system
looks different are included both in the manual and on Worg (which the
manual points to for details).  If people would stop listening to bad
advice and actually installed Org in the standard location, then they
wouldn't even need to modify their init files.

ELPA packages do as much as the current state of Emacs' packager allows,
but Org really isn't a good fit to it at the moment.  That said, a
recent Emacs combined with ELPA does work just fine.
