The most recent involved John Wiegley, who didn't like this change
either. You also may want to look for a subject tagged with [ANN] where
this change is announced.
Anyway, the main motivation is speed, and removing some pathological
cases, e.g., with entries containing inlinetasks. Now property API runs
in constant time, it scales much better than before.

The code in ORG-NEWS do not really "fix" drawers. Your drawers are
perfectly valid in Org 8.3, but they do not have the same meaning. This
function turns them into an equivalent for Org 9.0. This is only
a helper function for the transition.
OTOH, `org-agenda-set-property' function tries to repair wrong drawers,
e.g., when they are missing the :END: part, IIRC.
