I prefer the old behavior. Let me explain why, in case there's another way
to achieve what I want.

Often I want to create a simple list of TODO items, where I don't want
each item to start a new section, with all the extra space, bold fonts,
etc., that entails. I'd do this using a standard itemized list, except
that (at least last time I checked) org mode insists on TODO items being
headers. To work around this, I use h:2 (say) so that I can make my TODO
items third-level headers and have them printed as an itemized list, as
desired. With the new behavior, this seems impossible, but I can't believe
I'm the only person for whom this is a useful capability.
