IMHO, this would be another case that shows that XEmacs is starting to
forget its multi-user roots [1]. What if a sysadmin would install that
package on a single user's request - afterwards all 999 traditional
users are stuck with these silly key bindings ?
Another issue: has anybody noticed the more and more widespread use of
readline, i.e. emacs key-bindings in other applications ? Heck, I can
even use C-a, C-k etc. in Netscape, and in a bunch of other
applications, too. Converts from Windows are not the only kind of
people we're dealing with.

Footnotes:
[1] I whole-heartly believe that the package-interface, as nice as it
is, and as often as I use it, is another such case. No normal user
should install packages, that should be a task left for the system
adminstrator (and yes, I used "should" on purpose).
