(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately wasn't resolved at
the time.)
I agree that the outline commands are pretty awkward... but outline
minor mode is used in a large number of major modes, and has to be
consistent throughout all those modes. So M-<arrows> can't really be
used for this, I think.
So I'm closing this bug report.
