In-Reply-To: <m3el29xxtr.fsf@loiso.podval.org> (message from Sam Steingold on 04 Jun 2003 18:49:36 -0400)

    rms on 2003-06-03 deleted the C-M-delete and C-M-backspace keybindings.
    why?

So that users would not be led to type C-M-backspace and kill their X
server.  It is a pitfall.

This binding is only used by people who are advanced enough to make
their own bindings.  If you find this binding useful, set it up in
your .emacs file.
