Actually, a large and growing fraction of my .emacs file is devoted to
turning off or disabling various misfeatures.  The more features get
crammed in, the bigger my file gets.  However, I think the people who
put this stuff in are proud of it; I don't think they will be much
impressed if I report their new features as "usability bugs".
