Many people are very happy not using org at all.  Perhaps we should just
all quit and find other hobbies.  OTOH, release milestones are important
to the health of a software project and so yes, really need to be done.

This is not on the table.  Rather, the (tentative) proposal from the
emacs side is for some packages to be developed in the GNU ELPA
repository, and be extracted from there and bundled with emacs release
tarballs (in addition to being released in ELPA).

Org is sometimes cited as an example of a package that would benefit from
this strategy, but there has been no discussion of this from the org
side, and AFAIK no decision has been made whether we’d take advantage of
this facility if/when it’s available.

Exposing new users to the vagaries of the master branch may rather lead
to atheism.
