package.el in emacs-24 lists Org-mode as "built-in". That's the version included in Emacs, not a package on elpa.gnu.org as I thought. The "bleeding edge" package would be the only one there. > 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.
