Hi Tom,

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.

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.
