Nobody explained good arguments why current M-g is immovable?

... and I doubt much has changed in the year that has passed since

Jari, you really have to stop arguing from the standpoint "Emacs must
have M-g as goto-line or else". I really feel that the use of
goto-line to warrant a single char key binding is overblown--specially
for a single keystroke binding!; if people use it that often then one
should write a proper mode for Emacs to ease whatever one is doing
instead of introducing a new keybinding.
But what is wrong with C-x ~ for example? What about allowing for
something like C-u C-u C-l to recenter at a specific line (if it is
just C-u C-u C-l, then prompt the user, if C-u C-u 100 C-l then
recenter at line 100)? I think this is quite nice, makes sense
keybinding wise.
Happy hacking.
