Well, I did not know what is causing it that I would need to report or
find out. I was thinking it is some of packages. You are right I may
disable it. My thought here is rather for usefulness for others.

I have presented reasoning as if one wish to indent something as
convenience then indentation should be customary, something that people are 
used to.

* First headingRET
  - something hereRET
    - something hereRET
      (at this line becomes hard or unknown where to go back with indentation)
      ** Maybe like this?
  ** Maybe like this?RET If I press RET there, then it does not work
  It brings me here. So it is not logical
** Maybe here?
   Then
   Something

Indentation in fundamental mode:

** HereRET
I come here.
But only if I start indenting
   Like hereRET
   Then I continue here

In general before deciding to introduce a new feature or
something considered feature or convenience for many users,
something that changes habits of many users than at least there
shall be discussion with users to find out what is useful or not,
or at least some feeling if it is.

Introducing something just for case to accommodate
electric-indent-mode where it changes habits of many does not
sound to me as convenience.

In general, I always agree to final decision of developers and I
am as one least problem there. Whatever they wish and want.
