What would that be for?\r\n\r\nThe spacemacs-org layer is a layer installed by default that includes the absolute minimum needed to provide a nice experience reading org files. This is necessary because Spacemacs' documentation is itself written in org, and it's critical that Spacemacs ships with a good way to read its own docs. All the config we felt was non-essential (for people who actually use org-mode as a tool rather than a glorified markdown file) is in the org layer, which is optional.\r\n\r\nThe org-plus-contrib package is owned by the spacemacs-org layer. Some packages in the org layer are actually part of org-plus-contrib (org itself, org-agenda, ob, etc.) but they are marked as `:location built-in` to make them work seamlessly (Spacemacs will not try to download them.)\r\n\r\nPackages you declare in the list of additional packages in your dotfile are installed alongside all the other packages in Spacemacs as first class citizens. If it works as part of a layer then it will work in the additional packages. You have the power to override attributes as you wish in this way, including the `:location` parameter, which is precisely the answer to your question."}}
