This is _very_ surprising. CUA mode is called out as the fifth item in the options menu, and the menu description itself describes what it offers. "Use CUA Keys (Cut/Paste with C-x/C-c/C-v)" It doesn't require any knowledge of lisp at all (contrary to the assertion in the LWN article), and you don't have to know it exists, at least not any more than any other option in a menu requires that.
