Call for Discussion: Changing keymap [Take `zap-up-to-char' off `C-z']

QUERY SY> Putting `zap-up-to-char' on a long-standing non-destructive SY> keybinding should never have happened. I disagree as a matter of policy. There is no way to improve keymappings if we can't even beta test them because of "backward compatibility." Surprising and destructive, yes. So are lots of things in beta tests, although normally they're not intentional. I'm actually neutral on the patch itself, but before the patch is discussed I think this is a policy issue that should be hashed out every so often. The last time was several years ago, and the composition of the active board has changed dramatically since then.
