ELPA serves as a way to distribute packages which are not (or can't be) part of Emacs, I don't think it makes sense to use ELPA to re-distribute the version of Org-mode which users already have installed as part of their Emacs install. Un-installing the bleeding edge Org-mode would be equivalent to downgrading to the Emacs version. Also, I would tend to think that this would make the most sense if we automate the ELPA integration s.t. every time a new revision is pushed up the to git repository, the ELPA version is automatically upgraded (with a git commit hook). If this isn't currently possible in ELPA then I'd agree with a point Jambunathan makes in this thread that this is a trick we can help ELPA to learn. The reason I think the above is important is that very frequently the answer to a question is "oh, I fixed that, please pull the latest from git", and we'll be constantly frustrating users if ELPA can't keep up with git.
