(I'm the one who wrote `describe-command' (long ago).)

I bind it to `C-h c', in place of `describe-key-briefly',
which I moved to `C-h C-c'.

I think this makes sense for vanilla Emacs also, as
`d-k-b' is, I think, not used so much nowadays.
(Am I wrong about that?  Dunno.)

Yes, this would be an incompatible default key change,
so if you think it's a good idea then it should maybe
be discussed in emacs-devel.

I personally haven't used `describe-key-briefly since
the 80s.  And I use `C-h k' often (as well as `C-h c'
as `describe-command').
