Can we at least agree that default keybindings are more likely intended
for new users than for dedicated emacs hackers?  

Personally, I bind control-z to a keymap of customized bindings/functions,
but that doesn't mean that I don't see at least *some* value in making it
match typical keybindings in basically every OS/UI currently used.

I would suggest that this change is too deep for an emacs 23 point release,
though.  If we can get a workable `upgrade system' (currently being
discussed in another thread) for dealing with new features in place for
emacs 24, that seems like a better time to consider defaults like CUA
bindings, don't you think?
