The problem is partially with absence of convenient interface for 
reviewing of updates. E.g. apt-listchanges from debian extracts news 
(major changes) or both news and debian changelog entries from 
downloaded packages before installing them. Similar GUI from ubuntu is 
less convenient due to it fetches changes after selecting particular 
entry causing delays and grouping of packages built from the same source 
works not well enough.

P.S. Maybe I missed that, but it seems org-indent-mode (#+STARTUP: 
indent) has not mentioned in this long thread.

There is a footnote in the manual related to hard indentation:

This works, but requires extra effort. Org Indent mode is more 
convenient for most applications.
