Yes, but minor modes do not get much and they are not supposed to
interfere with each other.  That is, a minor mode is not supposed to
use a binding used by any other minor mode.

>From `(elisp)Coding Conventions':

   * Sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by `{', `}', `<', `>', `:'
     or `;' are also reserved for major modes.

   * Sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by any other punctuation
     character are allocated for minor modes.  Using them in a major
     mode is not absolutely prohibited, but if you do that, the major
     mode binding may be shadowed from time to time by minor modes.

That is not a lot of bindings for all minor modes combined.

Sincerely,

Luc.
