I agree with Eli here. It's very hard for any one person, with their own
particular way of using Emacs, and communication channels they pay attention
to, to know for certain what other people are using a feature for -- or if
they're using it at all. Lest we forget:
https://xkcd.com/1172/
So unless there's a more compelling reason, like that it's getting in your
way, we'd need a stronger argument to reverse an agreed-upon decision that's
only 2 years old.
