The default for setupformulas is indentnext=no, at least from a couple
experiments and this line in core-mat.tex (in version 2006.08.08):
\c!indentnext=\v!no,
What's the view on changing it to indentnext=auto, which seems
intuitive at least if one is used to TeX or LaTeX? From the archives,
it seems like 'auto' was the default a few years ago, but maybe there
was reason to change it to 'no'.

I do not know why 'indentnext' was changed to 'no'. I would also like
the default to be changed to 'auto'. However, I do not know if it
breaks backwards compatibility of someone else's existing project.
You can ofcourse change it in your cont-sys.tex file, but remember to
add it to your environment file if you want to share your documents
with others.

normally i have no problems with changes that make thinsg look better (improvements in macros)
however, this is a functional change and that's not going to happen
if a lot of users want it, we can consider making some styles that use (and/or comment) different defaults,
