Do you prefer "key-binding conventions"?

(elisp) `Key Binding Conventions':

 Don't define 'C-c LETTER' as a key in Lisp programs.  Sequences
 consisting of 'C-c' and a letter (either upper or lower case) are
 reserved for users; they are the *only* sequences reserved for
 users, so do not block them.

 Changing all the Emacs major modes to respect this convention was a
 lot of work; abandoning this convention would make that work go to
 waste, and inconvenience users.  Please comply with it.

Clearly I've wasted my time, in response to (more than one)
explicit request for suggested text.  Why am I not surprised?
