I did some quick searching.

Wow; this goes back a long time!

Anyway, Richard Lawrence summarized previous discussions, which includes
this detail, in this 2015 post:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-02/msg00932.html

Not sure if he introduced the idea or not, but if not, he should know.

I think there are two points to consider before removing suppress-author

Yes; excellent summary.

As I say, my impulse is to say no to both, outside some corner cases that
people could work around in other ways.

But I hope people will challenge me if this is a bad idea.

And hopefully Richard can weigh in.

If both answers are no, this can definitely go away.

Right; I understand.
