I cannot think of any.  I'm "forced" to work on legacy systems from time
to time and it's a pain when C-a jumps at the beginning of the line and
not at the end of the prompt.  Please, keep the current behavior, it's
user-friendly: it feels like xterm/bash/readline and it save many
key pressing actions.

The worst thing to do is a poll (results of a poll always depend on the
way who asks how whom when and where).  Better watch out newsgroups and
other neutral feedback channels iff you feel uncertain.
