What this mean is that there is no need for Tromey's repo or marmalade
repo.  Orgmode itself is a repo and can be used in `package-archives'.

Since release tars are already made available on Orgmode.org servers, I
think bandwidth costs are not much of a concern for those sponsoring
Orgmode.org's hosting.
