Re: [O] Why does export of images to LaTeX requires either org-special-blocks or org-jsinfo?

That's exactly what I do and it works perfectly until you do this (trying to
load as few modules as possible):

    ╭────
    │ (setq org-modules nil)
    ╰────

Then, you'll see that images will be exported as links instead of images
(\href instead of \includegraphics).

What I don't understand is that you fix the issue by loading either
org-special-blocks or org-jsinfo (uncommenting one of these 2 lines):

    ╭────
    │ (require 'org-special-blocks)
    │ ;;(require 'org-jsinfo)
    ╰────

Thus, it seems like these packages are not optional (or, at least, of the 2)
to get the correct export of inline images to LaTeX.

Any idea why this behavior?
