I anticipate there will be quite a lot of resentment about this when we
release Emacs 28.1.

Hmm.

I suggest it remains just a suggestion - at least for now. We won't know
how well or badly the removal of M-o will go until after the release of
Emacs 28.
C-o is a much used binding. Replacing it with the less convenient C-o
C-o binding is going to annoy people greatly.
Also, we don't really need to free up C-o - we've already got all of M-o
unused. Where is this all going to stop?
