I don't think it is ridiculous.  I think his argument makes perfect
sense.  The current `C-a' in message mode, breaks with my expectation
of `C-a'.

I know I can rebind the keybinding, and I even know how to do it.

The discussion is about whether the current `C-a' in message mode is a
good binding or not.  My vote is that it isn't.
