I guess that it can be an option. Though such hook will also need to be
guarded against repetitive execution (if `hack-local-variables' is
called by some minor mode or a command).

However, pretty much all the BODY in Org major mode definition will need
to go into the hook. It feels awkward.

Will moving the whole major mode definition into
`hack-local-variables-hook' be safe?
