I read with high interest, thank you for the pointer.
I think I can sum it up in 3 points :
  - most people think of C-z as a first-class keystroke, and of
suspend-emacs as a second-class command (please feel free to suggest
better vocabulary than first and second class )
  - a lot a people do unbind manually C-z to rebind it as to have a
totally dedicated "KeySpace" for their needs
  - concerns where rised on two points : CUA uses C-z for undo (but
well, it also uses C-v for paste) ; and C-z has the meaning of suspend
for some people in TTYs (but C-c should have the meaning of kill
process as well, as someone mentioned)

My position now is :
  - The rule for C-c LETTER is very subtle, and I'd prefer to see this
space reserved for mode-specific personnal keystrokes
  - I like to think I am totally free for any binding from C-z, this
is my really own space and it is accessible from any mode
  - CUA should be able to adapt, it can probably find room for a
personal KeySpace like C-z in its keymap (I notice C-y and C-c are
both bound to the same cua-paste, for example)

Last thread is more than 4 years old now, has your position evolved
since, and how please ?
