The default bindings within emacs itself were left alone. As problems were noticed in system mlisp packages, we rebound things there (so everybody doesn't have to get their own copy and change the bindings). I haven't heard any complaints since we got the last ^s out of rmail. This is with a Gosling emacs; we haven't gotten around to porting GNUmacs to the Gould machines yet, so I don't know if we can get away with the same sort of thing, but I would think we could.
