FTR, that bug report was a feature request (and for a new key binding at that), 
so the fact it ended up introducing a new key binding shouldn't surprise anyone.

It is of course OK to start here a discussion about any change that could have 
unintended or adverse consequences, as Ergus did in this case.  I see nothing 
wrong with having such discussions after the change is installed.
