There's more than just a flame war.

We're now about to lose the CTL-ALT-BS key for exiting X in the
forthcoming Fedora 11.  Why, you may ask?

One reason offered is that sloppy typing combined with a poor emacs
user interface can cause accidental termination of the X server.
What ever happened to the concept that *nix users know what they're
doing and get exactly what they ask for?

I, for one, greatly resent and deplore the removal of this essential
key stroke.

There's a workaround - just one more to add to the long list to make
a new Fedora system work "properly".
