Hi Klarre,

The org 9.0 release had deprecated use of S-exps in org-capture-templates.
That, though, went undocumented. So for now, that deprecation is reverted
on the main branch and moved to the master/dev branch.

http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f5645675a336d8f56fa9e6bd63832bdbac71f315

So when org stable next updates on Elpa (probably on Monday?), that will
have this reverted commit in it. But going forward, when org 9.1 is
released, the use of S-exp will once again be deprecated. So it would be
best to replace that S-exp with a function wrapper.
