Making a vet change a default if he decides he doesn't like a change upon
upgrading won't drive him away, but Emacs' unfriendly defaults are always
driving away noobs. Therefore Org's defaults should be noob-friendly, not
vet-friendly.
Probably vets should use legible settings as well. I became accustomed to
less-legible Org settings, and thought they were superior. But when I
cleaned up my Spacemacs config, I incidentally restored some default
legibility tweaks I'd disabled. After a brief exposure, I realized the
tweaks were superior, and that my preferences had been wrong. Changing the
defaults can overcome vet inertia and improve their UI.

Proposed legibility changes don't affect those font aspects.
