The discussion has veered in various directions, some of which irrelevant, but
the original question certainly is relevant, I think. Which is whether Emacs
should have a policy on 3rd-party packages creating global key bindings.

Your stance seems to be that the status quo is good enough, i.e., that it's not
necessary to have such a policy. Gregory feels differently, and so do I, though
in the opposite direction.

In the end, though, it's up to you and the other maintainers, so I'll take your
message as a sign to stop arguing this topic. :-)
