As for C-d and its command delete-forward-char, the documentation states:

To disable this, set `delete-active-region' to nil.

Imho, the default behavior is more consistent than the old behavior. C-d 
without an active region deletes the character, with an active region 
deletes the region. Makes sense to me.
