Hi all,

I am aware that in emacs 26, there are plans to change the way in how
certain packages can be moved out of the emacs master and still can be
installed seamlessly using the tarballs of those.

Currently the org-mode version in emacs master is 8.2.10 and that it too
old (> 2 years, ref: http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/refs/). The
current stable version of org-mode is 9.0.4 (released yesterday).

At the time of releasing emacs 25.1, the org-mode in emacs master could
have been synced up with the then 1.5 years newer and stable version of org
(probably 8.3.5 or 8.3.6). But that got missed due to some reason.

As a precaution that that does not repeat when emacs 26.x is released,
should the org version in emacs master be synced with the now latest stable
org version 9.0.4?

If we are able the release the new packaging method in emacs 26.x, then we
can remove org from emacs master completely, but if not, then at least as
backup we have a newer org version to go out with that release.
