Much of org-mode is currently inconsistent - and while it is highly desirable to improve on that situation, it should not become the major decision to change code at the cost of regression - org-mode is a very practical system used successfully by lots of (very appreciative) people, and while all users appreciate bug fixes / enhancements in the fast-moving repository that is org-mode (thanks Carsten), clear regression such as this should be avoided in master at all costs. At least that is my understanding of the development model as established by Carsten. If this is /not/ the case, then many people are wasting their time writing regression tests IMHO.
