Perhaps. The third alternative that for some inexplicable reason that
I failed to include was the generation of a "light weight" .emacs.el
that I use exclusively for tangling. When I configure my .emacs.el I
build two of them, one for doing everything, and one just for
tangling. I had to do so because an unrelated package that I use was
screwing up org's export. Indeed things are probably stable enough, I
just have been burned enough on other software systems that I at least
have to worry about it :).
