Moodle will disable subsection descriptions starting with Moodle 5.2. The moodle HQ recommendation seems to be to add a text and media area into the subsection.
This rises questions how to deal with this with format_onetopic:
Currently, there are use cases where people would add important content to the description and select the format_onetopic specific subsection display mode "default summary, because they want the content to be shown in the course page in "summary" mode.
If description is being removed in Moodle 5.2 this rises the question how to deal with this modes in format_onetopic: Maybe a setting "Use first text and media area as summary" would be a good idea to keep the functionality alive. The setting should default to "yes" to keep the current functionality alive, because moodle will convert all subsection descriptions into text and media areas during the update to moodle 5.2.
