A lot of people use the mod4/win/super key for managing their
Desktop Environment/Window Manager especially people using
tiling window managers. Already a lot of Desktop Environments
have used Alt(meta) key for their own use which is very
annoying. So using the super key in place of control will
probably not be a great use to many folks.
