Hi Tim,

Consistency is good but when people have been using org-mode for 10+ years
get a fundamental behavior change (like when you hit enter) through an
update it can be confusing. Perhaps old behavior should be preserved by
default for current org users but the new behavior adopted for new installs.

Maybe a heuristic something like this would work:

1) when org-mode starts, it could check to see if there are any
existing customizations at all -- if there are, the user has used org before
2) if org-adapt-indentation is not currently customized, customize it to nil

Or something like that.

This should preserve the old behavior for old org users but use the new
behavior for new users (except for old users with fresh emacs installs but
maybe this is good enough).
