Perhaps we should put C-x C-q back to toggle-read-only. However, I think that calls for a poll of the users. That calls for someone to analyze the results. To properly analyze the results is not just a matter of counting how many vote yes and how many vote no. It calls for noting down the reasons people offer, and which kinds of users they are. Is there someone who does not feel strongly on the issue who will volunteer to analyze the results of a poll about this?
