Is it wrong (or against convention) if a minor-mode changes major-mode
configurations:
specifically: I need to have a minor mode run only for c-mode, which
deletes some keywords in c-mode and introduces several new keywords.
Also, this minor mode shall change a few syntax rules. Is it better to
create a derived mode for this?
Please CC me as I'm not on the list.
Thank you.

It's definitely not wrong. It's maybe somewhat unusual but not against
convention either.

You might be better off with a derived mode, indeed. But it all depends
on the particular case.
