IMO that would be the worst possible binding for C-z. "Undo" is already
bound to no less than three different keys. Binding it to yet another key
just to make Emacs feel closer to other editors, when all other bindings
are so different from other editors anyway, would (IMO again) be a serious
mistake.

Leaving just one meta key (in this case M-o) for third-party packages
would IMO not be enough to motivate their developers to put their default
bindings there; third-party packages should not be considered as
second-class citizens. It must either be a control key alone, or a
control key and its corresponding meta key.
