Not at all.  It is only that the implementation should still
allow flexibility to change list types if you wish and not
immediately get this change reversed.

I have now implemented the following which does follow your request:

(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
       '(("-" . "*") ("*" . "-")))

This works for entering lists as you describe it.  It does not
work for modifying lists by demotion/promotion, so you mileage may
vary.  It allows you to enter an ordered list and not have it
messed up.

Comments are welcome.....
