Yes, the Helm-related code would certainly be left out.  I could propose
a patch to Thierry or make it a separate package on MELPA.

The indirect feature could be left out as well, but I find it so useful
that I think it might be worth including so that users can try it.  It
really transforms the way I use Org, especially in combination with some
other functions I have that use indirect buffers when jumping to items
from the agenda.  It wouldn't need to be enabled by default, of course.
But it's not strictly necessary, so I won't fight you on that if you
want to leave it out.  ;)

Thanks for reading through the code and finding these.  I'll go through
them soon and prepare a patch (which I'll post after doing the copyright
assignment).

No, thank you!  :D
