I have. Multiple times actually. And I don't even know how emaxs is 
spelled or what it actually is.


Any yes, I missed it myself already now and then since I updated to 
rawhide. But I'm nevertheless glad it's gone.


But whatever: Mailing lists are not a good place to voting about 
"enabling or disabling Ctrl+Alt+BkSp". Only two of the several reasons:

- subscribers to lists like fedora-devel are quite different from 
ordinary users

- we never know how many people agree or disgree but don't reply

So we will never get any reliable data by a discussion or voting like 
this. Even a voting by all those that are registered in FAS would not 
help, as the problems would be similar.
