While Magit is indeed very popular and valuable, shouldn't it 
still adhere to convention and avoid binding things in the `C-x' 
space?

That's really a point to be made on the Magit development mailing 
list, not here, but what I'm saying here is that Emacs shouldn't 
make special efforts to avoid interfering with package keybindings 
that violate Emacs's conventions anyway.

Magit should instead suggest `C-c g' as an entry point for
`magit-status', though a user can bind it however they want of course.
I doubt there are any Magit users who would be daunted by the need to
set up a keybinding for Magit's entry point.
