Er. In this particular case, M-{ and M-} are already conveniently bound
to the movement by paragraph functions (and C-up/C-down...), anyway,
aren't they? Certain non-us keyboard layouts make '{' and '}' harder to
type I suppose, but do we really need a third pair of bindings for the
same damn actions? Hell, I tend to think of the C-up/C-down one as less
than useful, but I expect I edit bulk natural language text in emacs a
lot less than some users.

They're seldom free in modes I use. They're usually some
mode-appropriate next/previous action, like the history in various
common repls and M-x, next/prev note in slime-compiler-output annotated
lisp buffers...
It might make a little sense for them to be a[nother] next/previous
paragraph in text-mode specifically under that vague "mode appropriate
next/previous" theory, but global? It just seems unnecessary, and might
even discourage any present informal "mode-appropriate next/previous"
binding tendency.
