I'm puzzled. The proposal frees one complete keymap for libraries such as Magit and yours. With say C-o, Magit could use C-o g and C-o M-g, you could use C-o p and C-o / and ..., and so forth, with the guarantee that Emacs would never reclaim any key in that map. That's a lot of room...

I favor allowing all keys that are currently allowed for 3rd-party code. And I favor Emacs itself implementing a moratorium on binding any more keys by default.

... but apparently you prefer to continue to use the few remaining keys that are not bound by default? Isn't that contradictory?

How so?  The few remaining keys are more than a single key.


... and a complete keymap is more than a single key.

I can't understand why you do not agree that having _all_ (say) C-o LETTER slots at the disposal of third-party libraries is not a reasonable solution that would contribute to peace and stability, and that you prefer to fight to keep the last five or six C-x LETTER slots free.
