Why can't this be reverted for 3.0.x? I understand a proper solution
can't be made before 3.2, that's why I'm asking to revert the ctr-del
behavior for now.

I don't really care changing the accels for myself, I know it is
ctr-del. I'm just astonished that this change as been made in the last
minute in GNOME3 with apparently no consensus and no indication to
users. Users can only assume GNOME3 can't delete files, ctr-del is
impossible to discover without reading bugzilla.

So you change a 10 years old behavior, you wait 6months for people to
learn it the hard way, then will change it again? Don't you think users
could have waited 6 more months to have directly the proper solution?
