Your comments were points of discussion in the org-mode thread that I
referenced. See there, but in part, that list requires one to first
subscribe and become a member in order to post to the list, which is a
barrier to entry for bug reporters not committed to be developers or
insiders, and the method is inconsistent with other parts of emacs-core
and thus unexpected for users. The thread also addressed issues of
maintainabilty, bug-tracking, and other useful and constructive
comments. Do see there.
