Of course it is. It affects only one command. Presumably your option would
affect all or most of the commands that are directional.
The point was that the default bindings of various commands have come in sets,
and we are breaking up some of those sets.
Again, not the end of the world.
The question was whether this is necessary.
Besides, that's hardly the option I would opt for.
More like (setq bidify-emacs nil).
Or (setq bidi-hands-off-default-keys t).
