Hi Kyle,

one thing I think might help (maybe too late) would be to put the
entries for both electric-indent-mode and org-adapt-indentation so that
they are together in the release notes as they do interact with each
other and often people stop looking once they see one and not the other
(they are currently a fair 'distance' apart in the file). 

I suspect we will see a few of these as the changes an interaction
between those two things are not terribly intuitive.
