It is desirable but not something to worry too
much about. Better be creative doing more
creative stuff.

Here is a list of bike tires [1]. As you see,
there are three different systems, or four
actually, and one has an extension one might
say, so let's settle for 4.5 systems. And all
those tires? Does it really make sense to have
one 56-559 and one 54-559 tire? Perhaps not!
But it's reality. And Emacs is also part
of reality.

But before we get lost in a principal
discussion... Isn't what you mention the case
already to a large extent?

When exactly is what key doing something
totally unexpected in your opinion?
