Please note how many users use Org who do not have Internet or possibility to update Org. Don't forget that Emacs run on multi user computers. Please see example here of who is using Debian GNU/Linux: https://www.debian.org/users/ I hope you may see many educational institutions and understand that not every computer may be connected to Internet but many will be used by multiple users. > 2.

As long as M-x report-emacs-bug is watched out for Org mode and handled properly and users nicely and considerately transitioned to Org mailing list (warmly welcomed), there is no serious problem there. > > I don't think anyone here really looks into bugs reported to the > > Emacs debbugs instance: time is limited and the version of Org > > distributed with Emacs is very often not the most current one, > > thus the bug reports may anyhow not be relevant anyhow. Those who do not have time, do not have. There are those who do have time and who will help users.
