Re: Another keybinding nit for afterwards

        I don't want to make an incompatible change like this without taking a
        poll.

    For the poll, I agree with such a change.

The point is to poll the users.  NOT just this list!

    I would be curious to know, however, if there was a particular reason for
    the current treatment of the C-y prefix arg - what was the rationale? Was it
    perhaps done before M-y did what it does?

M-y was in the original Emacs in 1975.  I am pretty sure
that the argument to C-y was equally old.
