Yes.

Yes, let's keep it, otherwise (org-release) reads like a lie.

Why is it necessary to emit org-version.el?

We could have (defun org-version ...) and (defun org-git-version ...)
from within org.el, right?

Also, I don't think we need org-release: the info org-version provides
is enough to know if you are loading Org from a stable (ELPA) release
or from a local git repository.

WDYT?

Tested and works fine, modulo the -dev part that we should keep.

Thanks!
