No, we did not agreed this isn't an option.

How can you make sure that Org-mode has not been used before people want to install an updated version through GNU/Org ELPA? I can't think of any good way. Until someone have an idea about this, I'm very serious about removing the possibility of installing Org through ELPA. But as I said I won't do this before getting a sense of what the users use and expect. -- Bastien
