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

Re interaction with metaSendsEscape: of course it would not confuse

probably. It's configurable at runtime (menu and escape sequence) because
this is an area where half the users want it one way, the other half the
other way.
