I disagree, for reasons given before:
1. Anyone who wants it can bind it. (I do.)
2. It has no meaning for many modes. By its
very nature it is essentially mode-specific.
3. Modes where it is useful typically already
bind it. And they bind it to a key that
makes sense for that particular mode.
You just need to use `C-h m' to find out
what the key is.
4. Given #3, if you add a global binding for
it then there's not much point in those
mode-specific bindings.
5. Emacs has been fine for 35+ years without
any global binding for it. The "Founders"
knew what they were doing in this regard.
(Perhaps they were thinking of some of this
list.)
6. Emacs should impose a moratorium on itself
NOW, to stop binding keys by default. Just
say NO.
Seriously.
The few keys that still have no default
global bindings should be left as is, in
general - left for users and 3rd-party code.
7. IF many users start using some binding over
a period of years THEN Emacs can consider
giving it a default binding. Don't be
prematurely "optimizing" UI in this way for
people when there has been no popular
request for it.
8. YAGNI.
One opinion.
