No, because "About" is a de-facto standard item in the Help menu of
many programs. We just made 2 of them instead of just one.

But why does it need a key binding? Not every command has a key
binding, and not having one doesn't mean the command isn't important.
Assigning a key binding is NOT low-cost, especially in a crowded
keymap such as C-h.
