In one case, it is set system wide in site-load.el.

In another case, it is set in a shared file loaded from .emacs.

In a third case, it is set in another user's .emacs file invoked
through --user option.

Besides, I doubt that very many users would want to disable CUA-mode
if they got their .emacs file from a collegue or friend -- such persons
are often "in sync" with respect to their tools and habits.

I still think this is too complex for very little benefit.

In any case, I will definitely not write the necessary code!

I suppose so, and the message would only list those keys which correspond
to keys used in the tutorial, so it would not be complete anyway.
