IIRC it was suggested to segregate CEDET, Org and some other big
packages (Gnus?) that are developed outside of Emacs core to GNU ELPA,
but include them on the released source tarballs. The point was not to
remove them from Emacs, but to avoid the hassle associated with the
merges and other dual-maintenance chores.
