Is there any way that we can undo the backwards backspace/delete key bindings that were introduced in Redhat 6.2?

So we could again have the standard bindings of Backspace=^H and Delete=^?
Fedora follows the Debian backspace configuration:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.8
has details and rationale. It will not be changed. Inconsistent configuration is far worse than any consistent configuration.

If we still follow the debian backspace configuration then why is kbs for xterm ^H according to ncurses?
Don't get me wqrong I think its a fine idea to follow the debian keyb guidelines as we've done for a while, but with FC3 we are not following them consistently.
Afaik gnome-terminal and konsole send ascii-del for backspace, but xterm sends ctrl-H and ncurses contains ctrl-H for the xterm terminfo entry.
So that is NOT consistent.
