I've not examined them all in detail; let's just say that some of them seem obviously useful and not dangerous, e.g., `dired-jump' and `dired-do-find-marked-files' (I've seen the latter functionality requested several times recently on #emacs), whereas others seem less useful, and maybe don't merit a keybinding by default (e.g., `dired-man'). `dired-vm-read-only-folders' probably shouldn't be there, as VM isn't distributed with emacs or really all that commonly used (and for a long time, didn't even officially support non-xemacs). But I generally agree with you. At the least, the split into dired and dired-x seems arbitrary and deserves re-examination. -Miles -- Joy, n.
