It's just a request. You are free to ignore it.
The fit-frame code has been around a long time, and I think a fair number of
people beyond myself might be used to that binding. The code is also
included in Aquamacs (but I don't know if that binding is). And Richard
expressed interest in adding the library to Emacs at one point - I believe
that a doc string change is all that he lacked.
None of those are reasons that compel anyone to not bind that key, but I
make the request anyway.
