Well, I wouldnt have minded as much if the mapping was simply
undef-ed. But changing it drastically is something I didnt expect.
Imagine how much more annoying C-z is now for YOU yourself, when you
accidentally type 'C-z v v' instead of 'C-x v v'. Instead of just
iconifying and making you *think* it crashed, it actually deleted
everything upto the next 'v'. And zap-up-to-char doesnt wait for RET
either. It just does it.
And its not like C-z mapping changed in the same major release, ie
from 21.5.x to 21.5.y. We have had the same mapping for years now.
Changing something like this, in general, is not good.
