While I agree that preserving reasonable defaults should be done, there
seems to be serious disagreement as to whether the current defaults
actually do make sense. :-)
I am content to let any interested committer make that decision, but I
ask that whoever first go through a trial mergemaster session using
'1' & '2' as the keys. 'q' and 'e' are right there, and I found the
improvement compared to using 'l' & 'r' immediately obvious and more
intuitive.
Your mileage may vary.
