Fully agreed.  And I don't want to be in the same situation than for
the manual, where someone puts a lot of energy into something that we
accept as a temporary experiment, and which becomes something like a
burden for some Emacs maintainers.

Timothy, I believe your efforts are worthwhile as a way to provide
Emacs third-party package maintainers a way to produce a refcard-like
PDF document for their libraries.  But not for Org, where the refcard
is really good enough as it is, especially the Emacs sync constraints
we have right now.

Is that okay with you?
