I think this is an overstatement: the keys I use 99% of the time every day haven't changed since I started using Emacs, which was a REALLY long time ago. What keybindings are we talking about? Whenever I get a new version of Emacs I first read the NEWS file (C-h n) where new features and changes are mentioned, along with descriptions on how to revert to the previous behavior if you don't want them.
