Perhaps.  But it also gets progressively harder to convince emacs-devel
about it the more keys you add into the mix.  Being an old crank, I'm

Yes, it would definitely be interesting to see if making far-reaching
changes in keybindings could work out.  A theme/profile would be a good
and presumably uncontroversial method to find out.
