Or maybe?
3. Pair the electric indentation + org-adapt-indentation with electric asterisk
(actually more of an electric space) so that "<RET>* " removes the indentation.
So this is similar to conditional option 2. I do not think I really understand
the benefits of option 2. as is. Wouldn't it be doing a lot of work to just
unconditionally undo the work of electric indentation and o-a-i without actually
turning them off?
Finally, given how few people seem to have benefitted from or even noticed
org-adapt-indentation, option 1. does seem reasonable to this casual user
(who has o-a-i turned off almost accidentally, via org-indent-mode).
