Emacs master is the development branch of
Emacs. I have always wanted Org dev branch to
be part of that. But may be that Org’s dev
branch is not as stable as Emacs’. Hence it is
kept that way.

I have complained about this branch confusion
once on the emacs-devel mailing list. Only to
learn that there is a separate mailing list for
org development related things.

Even for reporting bugs there was a different
mailing list for Org. I am not sure what is the
situation now. I use whichever version comes
with master branch of Emacs. And I report bugs
using ‘M-x report-emacs-bug’ only.
