But we are not talking about obliterating older downloadable copies of
Org mode from all servers.

I don't see a problem with the current Org update.  Of course, as the
package manager stops being a novelty, upstream package management will
become an issue.

Ideally, the package versions offered by a package manager will work
with the version of Emacs running the package manager.  Either we have
one repository per Emacs version, or smarter version management for one
repository serving more than one Emacsen.
