Thanks for doing this.

The overall discussion convinced me that `nil' is probably a better
default for `org-adapt-indentation' (instead of `t') so I suggest we
wait for the 9.5 changelog to promote these clarifications.  

(I generally don't like the idea of revising the changelog after the
release even if we had and may well accept exceptions.)
