Hi all,
Was there really not a way to keep fancy description list indentation instead of removing it entirely? I have almost a decade of org files that use description lists, and it really helps have the description items called out from the description text.
Is there a simple way to add this functionality back in? Perhaps as some sort of variable like `org-use-fancy-description-list-indentation` instead of throwing it out entirely?
Here's the commit I'm referring to: https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/683df456a41a2b0e308bdbf746f5db0235a6058a
Thanks.

+1 And I've only 6 files similarly affected!

I don't know if there is a way, but the implementation did not work with
nested lists.

Note that the removal does not break existing documents.

The Org manual contains many descriptions lists.
For short descriptions,
- XXX XXX XXX :: aaaa aaaa aaa aaaaa aaaaa
For longer descriptions,
- XXXXX XXX XXX ::
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
It doesn't look so bad, IMO. And it is very stable.

It's not just about introducing a variable. It is about fixing
indentation with description lists containing sub-lists.
You can try, if you want to. It may be tricky though: at first glance,
the previous implementation worked, but it actually didn't.
