I think it’s a good idea to ignore the version of org-mode that comes
with Emacs and assume that the latest version is installed, because they
are unfortunately far apart that I’m sure will cause problems.
I’m assuming that Org users generally will have a more recent org-mode
installed.

This is a general problem with Guix, though. Org-mode is no exception.
