Reading your thoughts on this package, I find myself of a similar mind. I think
org-transclusion is great, but it may be a bit hasty to add it as a “core” Org
feature at this stage. If it looks like a good idea later and/or we end up
developing an Org spec with a small core and tiers of features, I could see this
being included alongside less-essential features like `#+plot'.
All the best,
Timothy
