Re: PROPOSAL: Repurpose one key and reserve it for third-party packages

My proposal is to separate any and all such possible default key-binding _changes_ from the simple act of declaring the keys so far unbound by default to be reserved for 3rd-party code.

That just can't happen, it would be a arbitrary constraint that would impair Emacs' evolution, it would mean that hundreds of small or large potential improvements would not be possible anymore.

Not at all. It would mean that Emacs would try harder not to add new default key bindings.


I see your point, but two maintainers clearly replied to your proposal and said they will never agree with it. IMO it would be better to take that as a postulate for further reflection.
