We try to aim to make Emacs coherent. So when we consider adding to
Emacs a package that implemnts a new feature, it isn't just a matter
of how many users lke that feature.
There are several things we might want to do with a new feature
implemented as a eparate package:
* Add it to Emacs as written.
* Leave it out.
* Merge the code into related parts of Emacs for better integration.
* Reimplement the feature for better integration
* And someimes others.
Since I don't use Org mode, I don't have an opinion about what to do
in this case. I'm simply reminding people to think about these
options for the functionaliy of org-menu, and make a good choice.
