However, after talking with the spec reviewers, it was not accepted, because there was lack of a consensus about the change, and while there were several favoring it strongly, there were others who opposed it just as strongly.
Adam, where your help could really be used here would be to help in resolving a few issues in the spec. In the comments section I listed 5 changes that should be made to better document the justification and to account for concerns that have been raised. Once that's done, then a patch can be put together; the approach I had been thinking of was to change xserver to DontZap by default and add a new option "DoZap" or whatever, to let people enable it.
I'd also done a similar implementation of this earlier for a spec: https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/XorgCtrlAlt Backspace
