I am for leaving it to the users discretion as to weather or not they have Org installed. I think if anyone out there wants to open an .org file, more than likely, they know what it is and how to get it. If not there is a plethora of information out there to point them in the right direction. Aft

2 cents from me... Besides I continuously see many users praising Emacs just for Org presence (they even may be completely non-technical users), I'm personally think Org may be removed from Emacs distribution because: 1) all Reuben's argument seems sane; 2) there are situations when someone wants
