That is not comparable: C-u is the universal-argument key, and it's sole purpose in life is to serve as a prefix key to extend the behavior of the others key sequences. However C-y is not a prefix key, and the proposed behavior of M-y is simple, well defined, and doesn't need to be extended by C-y, because such pretended extension will be already bound to another key (M-p), which is the natural choice. With the "bloated" version of M-y, users would not be able to browse the kill-ring in the minibuffer just after yanking the top entry with C-y. And why? Because of an unnecessary complexity in M-y. Please, let's not make that mistake. --=20 Dani Moncayo
