Funny you should mention that: I thought about it two days ago and was
about to propose it.

Obviously I completely agree.

CUA-mode is a really neat mode, but I think it will have to stay as
a "compatibility tool" at least for the forseeable future. Too many of its
features have as sole purpose to work around the presence of
old-style bindings. Great for CUA-mode's purpose, but not so convincing
for a default mode of operation.
What I'd like to see is a move to discourage the use of hardcoded "C-c",
"C-x" and such in bindings setup by packages. Instead we should provide
ctl-x-prefix and major-mode-prefix as aliases for C-x and C-c and
make packages use those. Then we can hope to later change the bindings
(either by default or just in CUA-mode) in a more robust way.
