We don't want to change what :pin means, IMHO we need it to obey
`package-install-upgrade-built-in`.
That wouldn't be incompatible, right?

So the sketch that actually loads org from elpa would be

(let ((package-install-upgrade-built-in t))
  (use-package org
    :ensure t :pin gnu))

whereas

  (use-package org
    :ensure t :pin gnu)

would keep the original org packaged with emacs (called with emacs -Q)

Best, /PA
