I understand your argument. However, I feel discouraged to contribute to Emacs devel because, most of Org users will not benefit from such contribution for a long time. Not until next several major versions of Emacs will be released. So, I currently prefer to contribute some backwards-compatible high-level code and leave Emacs core for future. Best, Ihor
