Emacs Lisp is a programming language, i.e., derived from `prog-mode', whereas Org is about text, i.e., ultimately derived from `text-mode'. Let's compare text modes with text modes. The only mode derived from `text-mode' with comments I can think of is `rst-mode'. And it doesn't fill comments at all.

Org doesn't support this variable. It doesn't even use "newcomment.el". There is a simple reason for that: many functions in "newcomment.el" assume comments may start anywhere on a line. This is not possible in Org. "newcomment.el" is not meant for the `text-mode' family. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
