That is probably a good example of how change can be imposed by external
events outside the control of org-mode. While I would agree that more
analysis of that change may have resulted in better initial
documentation and in turn, less inconvenience to users. that is only
obvious now with the benefit of hindsight. The fact it was a change
triggered by a change in Emacs rather than a change initiated by org
demonstrates that at times, org has to adapt to its evolving
environment. While this change may have 'broken' your workflow, the
previous behaviour was breaking other users workflows because org did
not honour electric-indent-mode and was not consistent with other core
emacs modes.
