I think we should distinguish the org-mode plain text *format* from
the set of tools that Emacs offers to manipulate these files.
For etc/TODO and friends, I certainly do not advocate for using all
the possibilities of the org syntax, just the one that's compatible
with outline, which is to use one-liners for headings.

I am fine with etc/TODO being associated to outline-mode by default
but I think the current format is not readable enough, be it with
outline or anything else.
Also, I don't think Org mode gurus (or anyone else, for what matters)
can commit whatever they want to those files.
