How about something like this:

In `gnus.el' ...

  (defvar gnus-tm-compatibility nil
    "*TM compatibility.")

In `gnus-art.el' ...

  (when gnus-tm-compatibility
    (gnus-define-keys gnus-article-mode-map
      "q" gnus-article-show-summary))

... or at least something similar.

Would this solution be a "win-win situation", or does this just shift
the flame w^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdebate to the question of whether to use
`nil' or `t' in the `defvar' above?  :)
