+1. Those are exactly 3 of the points I tried to make.

1. M-x is useful for more than invoking a single command.
2. Command relevance, even just for invocation, is
   relative, can be complicated, and cries out for human
   judgment (design, option, runtime, or all).
3. Users need to be able to control this themselves.
