No change is planned, at the moment there is nothing more than a proposal 
to conduct an experiment to make a (small?) change to its meaning, namely 
to move the open-line command to repeated C-o.

This is precisely the purpose of time-limited experiments, during which 
users such as you can see what happens with their fingers, whether they 
can adapt to the new default binding, or whether they have to reconfigure 
something.
