This has been in Org 9.5 since commit 667cb6f1a on 2021-04-27.  I had
started the discussion about it in an email from 2020-09-09,[1] in which
I had attached a diff.  No one commented on it back then and, to my
knowledge, none has voiced an opinion about the change ever since.

That granted, I now think this is a bad default.  Such a feature should
be opt-in, otherwise it can catch users by surprise (as shown in this
discussion---also related is bug#46971 for which I sent a patch with
regard to the modus-themes).

Can Org be patched for emacs-28?  How does this work in terms of syncing
with org.git?  My suggestion would be to revert commit 667cb6f1a in
org.git, though I am not sure how to proceed.

What do you think?
