It isn't that simple. You can't just move some bindings around without
affecting other bindings, and there are _lots of bindings_ in Emacs,
which are not all defined in one place, or even in one code-base.
If Emacs were a simple minimal-functionality editor like notepad with
all its bindings defined in a single list, maybe you could easily offer
alternative binding sets -- but it isn't.
You can see the problem in the existing cua-mode: even though it only
tries to offer a very few CUA bindings, it has to resort to awful dodgy
hacks to do so, to avoid (or at least try to avoid) stepping on other
bindings.
