The point is, a few protested and got the change submitted. Never mind the thousands that still want it.

You have many choices. The choices include:
*) Adding an xorg.conf fragment that re-enables zapping
*) Filing a bug against the server and, through rational argument,
convincing the upstream maintainers to revert this
*) The above, but for the Fedora maintainers
*) Using a locally patched package
*) Forking the entirity of Fedora
*) Describing the use cases that require hitting ctrl+alt+backspace and
coming up with fixes that don't involve killing the entire user session
*) Switching to Windows
*) Switching to MacOS
*) Becoming a hermit and not touching a computer ever again
And dozens more. Changing a boolean default does not limit choice. The
only change is that you now have the choice of enabling zapping rather
than the choice of disabling it.
