Hey Xavier,

this is not going to be reverted in 3.0.x. Note that you can still
change this manually back to Del, as Nautilus still supports editable
accels (even though there's a bug [1], which I want to fix for 3.0.2, if
you do that).

We might reconsider this choice in 3.2, once Undo support has hopefully
landed, but in the meanwhile I find it really impolite you're screaming
out loud here, as you surely know there are more appropriate channels to
reach the Nautilus maintainers. Starting flames is not cool.
