[BUG] ox-odt messes with auto-mode-alist [9.7-pre (release_9.6.11-1090-g76468c.dirty @ /home/viz/lib/emacs/straight/build/org/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

ox-odt.el contains the following lines at the end of file:

    ;;; Library Initializations

    (dolist (desc org-odt-file-extensions)
      ;; Let Emacs open all OpenDocument files in archive mode.
      (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
               (cons (concat  "\\." (car desc) "\\'") 'archive-mode)))

Is there a reason why this is done?  This breaks the expected result of
opening .odt and friends using doc-view-mode, and causes unnecessary
confusion (it is not particularly easy to find too since grepping
through Emacs for "\\.odt" fails).
