I agree. Even though I have compiled org from git at times, and have
been using emacs since version 16 or 17 in the late 80s (I am fuzzy on
dates), I have never actually learned the package system. I also look
at org files using the built-in emacs on mac, and various other places.
So I think emacs should continue to have a stable version of org, but
also that it should be relatively easy to install and use a newer
version from a packaging system.
(It should also be easy to use org from git, but it is; it's just
prepending to load path and I've been doing that with no issues for
years.)
