Yes, personally I don't really care because I use these features very
very seldom (I'm used to delete or cut lines by marking them and
Ctrl-X or DEL). Anyway, the point about the destructiveness of Delete
line make sense to me and in most cases it should be better to cut the
line instead of real deleting it (ok, there is Undo but there is also
a clipboard manager on most systems).

In any case you still can reassign the keys.
