All things being equal, it's nice to have consistency, but the needs of
individual major modes can outweigh this.  To give another example,
eshell rebinds the up and down arrows to move around in the shell
command history, decoupling the usual equivalence of C-p/up and
C-n/down.

I don't use Org mode myself, but since Carsten, the package maintainer,
appears to have given some thought into this, there is no harm deferring
to him.
