For the moment I am going to avoid commenting on any of the interpersonal issues; however, just for the record I remember bulia's patch working. IIRC it also worked for Nathan after a 'make clean'.
Anyway, from a technical/user standpoint:
1) We are going to have to defer any concrete action on key mappings until the 0.44 development cycle starts up.
2) Now that we're so established, making significant changes to the key mappings without configurability is a non-starter for the users.
3) Someone (probably me... I have a design in mind now) is simply going to have to write some code for customizable key mappings.
At that point, Alan's patch becomes an XML file and we stick it in share/keys.
