Most (All?) keyboards today have a Super key -- why not allocate that or parts of it to global third-party packages?


Because the super modifier cannot be used in a terminal or console?


This solves moving things around, and constantly breaking things for people.


Is it not a slight exaggeration to say that Emacs is "constantly breaking things"?


There are far more solutions to this problem than just unbinding keys unconditionally for some unknown future case that nobody can figure out.


It's not "for some unknown future case that nobody can figure out", it's for a recurring problem that is becoming more and more important. More and more users use Emacs, the extensible editor, with third-party extension libraries, and these these third-party extension libraries cannot create global key bindings.
