I want to give the users the alternative to use the left and right windows keys as meta. The current code in Emacs does not allow the users to do that.

I still have my opinion that it is a good idea to let the users have that choice and I do not think there are problems technically with allowing it, but I understand you standpoint. It does add complexity to add the code needed.
