Indeed.  Major modes (like Org) have greater leeway in defining
keystrokes than minor modes, though -- a minor mode has to be more
careful not to redefine common keystrokes because there's less of a "buy
in" from users than with a major mode like Org.

So it might make sense for Org to bind M-<right> to something while it'd
be too intrusive for outline-minor-mode.
