Ah yes, now I recall: the idea was to flip the meaning of ARG in exchange-point-and-mark, yes? This is not a bad idea in principle. But the effects may be strange. It would mean that, when the mark is active, you need to do C-u C-x C-x to exchange point and mark without deactivating the mark, which is inconvenient. So this may need tweaking. For this change, please post your proposed change as a patch to emacs-devel, for others to comment, instead of checking it in directly.
