I think a step like this would require a careful investigation. ox-html.el is a rewrite of org-html.el, which I wrote initially and = which has since then received many changes by the org community, all = under full assignment to Emacs. In the context of Org-mode, ox-html.el = should not be seen as a new file, but as a rename and massive change of = org-html.el, where the parser part has moved to ox.el. I am not as familiar with ox-odt.el, but I think it could be seen as a = rewrite of org-odt.el which is in Emacs and has the assignment. If we allow people to reduce functionality of a package that is already = in Emacs by making changes to it, then withdraw the assignment, I think = this would create a bad precedent. - Carsten=
