As a user, of course I can.  I'm talking about 3rd-party
code.

And sure, 3rd-party code can likewise trample on Emacs
default bindings.  But that's asking for trouble.

I don't think we want to _encourage_ that.  But by
binding more and more keys by default, Emacs dev does
indeed risk encouraging just that - a wild free-for-all.
