That's fine to install htmlize. Org relies upon htmlize for certain
features, including HTML export.

However, we also recently added engrave-faces for LaTeX export. And
engrave-faces is advertised as successor to htmlize. So, we might
consider (in future) to offer engrave-faces as another option to export
HTML as well. (This idea has nothing to do with helping to maintain
htmlize - it will be relevant for a long time at least for users of
older Org versions, even if we decide to use engrave-faces instead of
htmlize).

Good point. Although all the pull requests appear to be rather trivial
from the first glance. Let's see if Hrvoje has anything to say.
