May be that I am not explaining it well. Let me put it in a question
format. It is possible that this has been discussed and I appologise for
my ignorance.

My question is/are: (1) Why Org is developed outside Emacs, given that
it is a core/built-in package. (2) Are there other packages that follow
the same process?
