Because what is being discussed is a change that would enable us
_as_a_project_ to make some progress in the future. We aren't
discussing someone's private wish to change keybindings because they
fancy a change for their own personal needs. Wheres you are worried
about how _you_ will be able to invoke some commands when those
keybindings are changed.

How do you know I'm not using it? As a matter of fact, several of the
keys that people here suggested to change are in my daily routine. I
didn't even mention that because I see no reason to bother anyone with
my private bindings: I can always have them, no matter what Emacs does
by default. That's why I asked the question: I cannot understand the
intensity of objections based on what this or that person are using
frequently. This is Emacs: no default keybinding can ever lock you up
or out.
