The old text was so strict as to be misleading:
- As a user, you can redefine any key, but it is usually best to stick
-to key sequences that consist of @kbd{C-c} followed by a letter (upper
-or lower case). These keys are ``reserved for users,'' so they won't
-conflict with any properly designed Emacs extension.
I think that's too discouraging, so I see why it was removed. But I
think the text should mention that C-c LETTER is strictly reserved for
users and will never be bound by Emacs itself.
