I have nothing against the idea of recording somehow when a M-x
command is meaningful only in certain major modes.  And I have not
followed the specific proposals -- I figured all of you can make
a good decision about them without my help.

But I have one general comment: this is a support feature rather than
an editing feature.  Emacs is already excellent in its support
features.  How about improving what Emacs can do in editing?

For instance, modularizing the various packages that depend on Org
mode, so that they are independent features (though they can still use
Org format if that's useful in them).

For instance, extending the ability to have more kinds of formatting
features in text being edited, taking steps towards reaching WYSIWYG
some day.
