This would ease the pain temporarily but not fix the problem.

The next time you sit down with a colleague to show org-mode you’ll be
searching in your config for the change to go back to the old default.

The problem is that you have to do stuff after an update to undo
breakage. This is a conservative stance — I have gotten more
conservative in what I want from my software over the years. I want to
learn tools that just keep working because I can only become really good
in those. It’s only there that investing much time into learning them
actually pays off.

Best wishes,
Arne
