I agree with not changing the default. I prefer C-j to get automatic indentation. On the other hand, cc-mode has gotten so `smart' lately that I tend to edit C code in fundamental-mode now. I think changing the [(control m)] binding sucks, but I don't intend to fight against a strong consensus. I despise rebinding [(control c)], [(control x)], and [(control v)] with a passion, however if someone can make Kim Storm's code work with XEmacs, I am not opposed to making it a default if it is installed (ie. by having it autoload initialization).
