Now that release-7.02 is out, I am a bit disappointed that a ELPA-tar
named org-7.02.tar would be unusable.
The reason is "7.02" doesn't round-trip well and package manager is
allergic to such a choice. Verify this for yourself.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package-version-join (version-to-list "7.02"))
#+end_src
If you don't mind sharing, I am curious what made you still go with 7.02
scheme.
