Comment 8 for bug 60995

I have read several of their arguments, and none of them are convincing IMHO. Why do you think this is a feature?

In my opinion, if hardcore unix users prefer the backspace = pageup behaviour, they can easily change it, as they are experienced users and will find the way how to do it, but breaking existing behaviour for inexperienced users to please the proverbial two or three geeks is stupid.

Ubuntu isn't released with the Caps Lock = Ctrl hack either.
