I did try it. I am in favour of the non-blocking menu. Other people
participating in this discussion too.

As I said, the requirement to get it into the core is re-creating
previous layout and bindings. The layout and bindings may be
customizable, but they must be available.

This has pros and cons. Org derived mode means that personal
customization, including key bindings and themes, may affect menus. This
may or may not be desired.

I am not sure what you are referring to.

Same as what we do now in the menus. I do not think that we need to
change the existing bindings (by default).

As I said earlier, "bad habits" is a judgment. We will not break user
experience if we don't have to. It includes existing bindings.

Introducing alternatives is possible though.
