I agree that this "feature" might better be removed (i.e. the redundant
bindings should be left alone).  It's not like Emacs never has redundant
ways to get at something.

PS: Some other redundancies that come to mind are the major&minor mode
menus that are present both in the menu bar and by clicking on the
mode's lighter in the mode-line.
