It is a bit sad that we always have to argue about hypothetical average
users 
while ignoring our own experience...

I have to agree with you that sending windows to other workspace is probably
a 
rare operation, even for the few not-quite-average users who know metacity 
keynav. Thus perhaps not worth of being assigned 4 of the scarce arrow-key 
combinations. 

Moving to a different workspace is a relatively frequent operation, if you
are
the many-workspaces-and-maximized-windows kind of user.
