It's of course not a matter of key size.  In Emacs key bindings, control 
ones are "primary", and meta ones are "secondary".  You open, save, quit, 
move, search, ... with control keybindings, in fact you can use Emacs 
without ever using meta keys.  The opposite isn't true.  Relegating 
third-party libraries on a secondary key binding can't be an appealing 
solution.
