Nothing I can see except that we are in a freeze.  It is probably
worth making the change anyway, but I will leave that to the emacs
users.

Re interaction with metaSendsEscape: of course it would not confuse
new users, but would existing configurations might start to misbehave?
I readily admit I do not understand the details.  Bug#574396 does not
look resolved and I am too ignorant to figure out the current state of
things.

Thanks again for reporting this --- I had been wondering why
Meta+key did not work in emacs.
