A key bindings theme is a nice enough concept (for example, to create a 
native set of key bindings that follows the CUA convention). For that, 
indeed what's left is for someone to do the work.

Which is significant -- moving all current default bindings around to 
free up C-x, C-c, C-v, C-a and C-z is a big task, especially if one 
wants to interoperate with bindings made by third-party modes as well.

But I don't really want to migrate to CUA, personally. Do we not want 
our other users to enjoy undo-redo? Having a separate theme for every 
little proposed change seems silly.

And having a theme to just make indent-tabs-mode behavior sane, that 
would just be ridiculous.
