I might be missing something here.  But I think it would not be a
problem for Bastien (and others with similar preferences) to rebind the
keys to the shorter and potentially problematic version.  So to me it
seems, that the only problem with making the default keybindings less
'offensive' is finding non-taken and non-offensive keybindings.

The question is whether Org could do something to make rebinding keys
easier?  Like a worg page / FAQ about 'getting the old keybindings
back', maybe?

Just my 2ct, of course.
