I'm slightly confused as-to why this special org-8-master branch is needed. As far as I understood from Achim's message (2nd paragraph): <http://mid.gmane.org/87twrzkbow.fsf@Rainer.invalid>, that so far maint supports Emacs 23. Although this might have been a coincidence, without a conscious decision. It will continue supporting Emacs 23 until Org 9. Post Org 9, if required, one can choose to start a new maint branch called maint23 for continued Emacs 23 support. Given the above, I do not understand the need for a separate org-8-master branch. Is this a gap in communication, or am I missing something here? Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
