And how does this at all justify thrusting a huge unneeded change on the 
overall Linux community? In over thirty years of working with *nix 
systems, never once has a user complained that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace has 
caused them any problems. It's one thing to make a change in response to 
a documented need, and it's quite another to let some minority group 
dictate a change that causes a huge change for the overall majority. 
This change is just wrong. It cannot be justified. I see nothing 
anywhere on the internet or in the threads calling for such a change. 
And if it was a true problem you would find references to it.

Regards,
Gerry
