If "fully equal peers" means that we give them as much support to each
of them as we do to the Emacs key bindings, we shouldn't. It would be
an enormous amount of work, and not worth it. We won't urge people to
make a version of the Emacs Manual that uses a different set of key
bindings, nor to update it for each Emacs version.
It's reasonable to support selecting other sets of key bindings,
but the implementing them and supporting them will have to be up
to whoever likes each one.
