John, I'm inclined to agree that getting all my init stuff sync'ed is more important, but I think part of that is > having all packages in one place so they're in sync as well. I wondered about that. Technically, it seemed you only mentioned Emacs/Org, which I wasn't sure if that encompassed Emacs (the binary application), other Emacs .el files, and Org, or if you just meant keeping your Emacs binary version up to date (and Emacs doesn't rev /that/ often). If you meant the former ("Emacs" meant your stash of various .el files), then I agree that an be a headache. I'll often try some .el program du jour, maybe keep it, maybe not, and just have them littered about it ~/.elisp/site-lisp. Then I potentially have to add a line to add that to my load path if it's a more involved program with it's on dir vs. being a singular .el file. So, yes, that's a bit of a headache as well and I think if you are doing a bunch with extra Emacs add-ons, it would be worth syncing. I'm thinking I fiddle with some .el or another perhaps 2-4 times a year, so again, it's not really impacting me.
