Probably the other 3 "people who didn't like the change"
did the same thing. ;-)

As the guy responsible for `recenter-top-bottom', and for
its stealing key `C-l' from `recenter': what you did is
the right thing to do, if you want `recenter' behavior.

It's the reason `recenter-top-bottom' is a separate command.
It's trivial to use the key you want for the behavior you
want, as long as you have a command that does what you want.

The question of default behavior is a different one from
what this or that user prefers for their own use.  Emacs
is the easiest and most flexible application when it comes
to customizing keys.  Be glad.
