I did test the `maint` branch today. The behavior was not ideal for my 
funny use-case.

For `org-insert-heading' (M-RET), I wanted the following action on empty 
headlines:

"* " |--> "* \n* ", rather than "*\n* ".

This patch may be suitable:

(org.el)

diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el

Thank you!
