I'm not sure whether "horizontally" and "vertically" are good terms.  In
the past, people complained that for example 'split-window-horizontally'
could mean side-by-side or at some horizontal axis.  Maybe
'flip-windows-left-right' and 'flip-windows-above-below' would be better
and should be reflected in the key mnemonics somehow.

Yes.  Also people might still want to comment on my latest patch to
'split-window'.

You should hurry here: IIUC 'toggle-window-dedicated' is new in the
release version and if you want to change its default binding, you'd
better do that right away there.

"o" could be also used for deleting an "old" window in some direction
but I think that it has been already taken to mean "other" for too long.

But whatever you do my opinion should hardly count - I'm using my own
sets of key bindings ever since.
