If org-set-tags is to be rewritten, we need to carefully test the
rewrite before integrating it.  So 9.2 is a decent goal for it,
assuming 9.2 will be closer to 9.1 than 9.1 to 9.0.

Indeed.  Again, the biggest issue here is that of discoverability,
and moving code into core is the simplest way, but not necessarily
the better.  We can expect new exporters to live in GNU ELPA (or
elsewhere) first, then to be included in core is there is a strong
support and a strong need for it.
