I have to agree with Jesse on this. It sounds like you are getting a

I am surprised that you have so many systems on which this is
apparently a problem and yet you do not do provisioning where a
simple config change would resolve it. Even without provisioning for
installs, any config provisioning would easily handle this.
I am also a SysAdmin, and I do (very rarely) use this key
combination, but certainly not often enough to see this as a big
deal. There are soooo many ways around this change and around the
need for the key combination in the first place.
This is a big deal because now some tiny minority has lobbied for
changes to X that end up affecting a large community. And the bogus
arguments about user getting confused about keys is just that totally
bogus. I've never had a user complain about X control key
combinations. Emacs users complain because Emacs wants to have the
same key control sequences as Xorg. That's just wrong. And as a sys
admin if you're not willing to stand up and say that's wrong, then
watch for more ridiculous changes coming your way in the future.
I wish you luck in your upstream fight
There shouldn't even need to be a fight. It's a totally ridiculous
change based on bogus arguments to begin with.
And a few more angry threads are starting to pop up here and there as
word of this is getting out:
