Sorry if my comments seemed like a complaint/gripe. When an org-mode
user says, "feature bla" is supported they usually mean the whole
thing, with all the bells and whistles (e.g. source block would imply
with syntax highlighting). So I just wanted to clarify it was
incorrect to say "source blocks are supported".

Yes I realise that. I have never interacted with GitHub staff for
feature requests. Being a long time org-mode user (post-6.33, that's
ages in org years :-p), maybe I should give that a try.
