> Here is an idea: to create a special mode, say, conservative-mode,

It could be implemented as a single function, but with one requirement
that it should be maintained by Emacs developers.

Example:

(defun conservative-mode (&optional version)
  (interactive)

  (when (or (not version) (equal version "21.4"))
    ;; Restore old key bindings
    (define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-f" 'isearch-other-control-char)
    (define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-b" 'isearch-other-control-char))

    ...)

This really looks like the `Antinews' node of the Emacs manual :-)
