Because we cannot possibly stuff everything related to Org in core.

The function saves a few keystrokes, but considering how often I expect
it to be used, the benefit from using it seems rather negligible.

OTOH, putting it on Worg gives it some exposure, so it isn't lost in the
mailing list archives.

Of course, this is all IMO, and other developers, or Bastien, could
disagree.

As for myself, the following works surprisingly well in various
situations:

  (defun ngz-answering-helper (&optional from-wife-p)
    (cond (from-wife-p 'yes)
          ((= (random 10) 0) 'yes)
          (t 'no)))
