Hi Eli:
IIRC there were not agreement about what to do with C-z. BUT not really many
people against the change itself. There was the suggestion to use C-z C-z and
C-z z (ala M-g g) inside the new C-z map that made happy many old C-z users.
Then the problem was the lack of a decision and a deadline to decide.
Sometimes I feel that we need just a pool application to vote and a deadline.
to decide about. And we will save a lot of emails.
