I change my mode to whatever my src is in when I want indenting to work
properly, then change it back when I want to see it as an org file again.

I've brought this up before, but I think there's value in SRC blocks /not/ being indented, and in fact, I would love it if there were a way to make the contents of the SRC blocks /not/ be indented (as opposed to the default 2 space offset). Whitespace often matters, particularly when working with Python, and every now and then I find myself having to manually delete the extra spacing when pasting code into the Python interpreter. Other times I want to paste code snippets from SRC blocks into source files -- again, indentation gets in the way. I agree that it's aesthetically appealing, but my workflow would be easier without it.
