Someone could rely on this behaviour.
I am not worried about people relying on existing behavior. When we fix a bug, someone may always be used to it happening, but it should not stop us from fixing it. Rather I am worried about the change touching multiple areas in Org with potential changes in *other* behaviors. Especially in undocumented details of implementation - I'd rather avoid breaking those things in bugfix releases and only limit such changes to at least minor releases. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
