[RFC] Change default value for `org-startup-folded'? |

Hello,
Reading a recent message on Emacs devel list, I stumbled upon this:
I needed to go and look up to figure out how to read the org file
that came with pdf-tools. It isn't that much text, and the annoying
folding that org does for what amounts to a simple README file is
gratuitous at best.
it struck me that our default value for `org-startup-folded', which
t (or `overview') may not be nice for people not used to Org.
It would make sense to make it easier for non-Org users who have to deal
with Org files to set this variable to `showeverything'. This would also
be on par with Outline mode, the major mode used to handle, e.g., NEWS
file.
Even though I think `overview' is a nice value, the logic behind my
suggestion is that it is easier for an Org user to set
`org-startup-folded' once and for all than for a non-Org user to
discover Org folding the hard way.
WDYT?
Regards,
