There is a section about this in the org NEWS file. Previously, org did not
support electric-indent-mode. Adding this support means that
org-adapt-indentation now acts slightly differently than it did before and
can be impacted by the setting of electric-indent-mode.

I would agree that the NEWS item on org-adaptive-indent should probably
referrence the entry on electric-indent-mode (and vice-versa) and the two
entries probably should be closer together in the NEWS file.
