Yes, if I were allowed to still put the latest version in, I agree it
would receive more testing inside Emacs.  By not doing this, more
people are lured into using the releases on orgmode.org.

But I am sure the Emacs administrators have their good reasons - not all
packages like org are so intensively tested that new bugs due to new
features are generally found within a few days.
