This feels like re-inventing the wheel; - Org mark ring and Emacs mark ring are sometimes out of sync, hence bug #23745; - `org-mark-ring-goto' binding (C-c &) conflicts with some minor modes (e.g., Yasnippet). So, could we simply remove this part of Org and use Emacs facilities, with their standard bindings (C-u C- and C-x C-) and behaviour instead? For hard-core Org users, it might be possible to create a function that cycles among Org buffers only in the Emacs' mark ring. I don't think this is necessary, tho. Thoughts?
