Wasn't option 1 already the default behavior, until the changes made earlier this month due to this thread? That is the behavior I get when I check out earlier commits, or maint. > The principle is that block defaults for results should default to the > value that the language itself makes the most accessible. I agree that this would be a good principle. My understanding is that in 9.3 and earlier, the default was generally ":results value", but now due to this thread we are adding an exception for ob-shell. It sounds like after 9.4 is released, there will be a general survey of how org-babel behaves across languages, after which there will be a discussion of sensible default behavior.
