You do?  You can't use `C-j'?  Are you bemoaning the disappearance
of a key that did the same thing key `C-j' does?  And yet you feel
you need to make `RET' do that?  Not so clear.

If you still had a `LFD' key would you nevertheless feel the "need to
customize every programming mode I use" to make `RET' do what `LFD'
did?

And which users are you talking about, who have this expectation?
Emacs users?
