I too would want the original C-o behavior. If you're using it an column 0,
then the action of C-o is to create a new line, not to adjust indentation of
the line you were on before the command.
Now, you *could* have the new behavior using `electric-indent-functions',
checking if the current command is `open-line'. So we're not making it
impossible to do. But we shouldn't change long-standing behavior like this, in
a subtle way that many users wouldn't know how to undo.
