I think this is not only not a "non-starter", I think it is very easy
with the existing package manager.
The package manager can only handle one version of a package *per
archive*, so instead use one archive per version.
The current daily builds are here:
http://orgmode.org/elpa/
To allow choosing between stable (maint) and unstable (master), put the
package archives here instead:
Stable: http://orgmode.org/elpa-stable/
Unstable: http://orgmode.org/elpa-unstable/
Then, just add-to-list 'package-archives whichever flavor you want.
(And actually, to do away with the current conflict between the org and
org-plus-contrib packages, each of those should be in a separate
archive as well.)
If the next version of Emacs breaks Org out of core into the GNU ELPA
package archive, things can be even easier: Keep the stable version in
the GNU package archive, and keep the unstable version in the archive on
the orgmode.org server.
(And personally, I think the "contrib" parts should either be merged
into the core or split into separate packages, but that's another can of
worms.)
All the best,
Terry
