That wouldn't by such a great idea in my opinion, it's not such an advanced thing in Emacs to be rebinding keys, it's almost essential for normal use in fact.

That wouldn't by such a great idea in my opinion, it's not such an
advanced thing in Emacs to be rebinding keys, it's almost essential
for normal use in fact.
When you're binding your own keys you need to know what that key
already does so you can decide if it's something you use now or
might use in the future. If it is then you probably don't want to
use that key.
It would be a pretty bad situation to get to a "you've unlocked new
feature X"! But then find that the key for new feature X is the same
one you're fingers know to do something else. Not that you couldn't
just rebind it to something else but that would just lead to a huge
amount of differences from the norm with no good reason (on top of the
the already huge amount of differences from the norm for a good reason
that most peoples Emacs already carry around).
