Hi Alexey,

We have a request to grandfather the media type described below. Could you review this by October 3rd and let us know whether you would recommend that the IESG approve this directly? 

If not, would the only options be for the applicant to add the "vnd." prefix or try to publish an independent-stream RFC?

The requester writes, "Org-mode was created in 2003 and had been part of GNU/Emacs since 2006. Its latest release was Aug 9, 2025."

thanks,
Amanda
