That's a valid point.  I just grepped the emacs/lisp dir for C-f and
there are quite a few modes that bind C-f instead of remapping
`forward-char', e.g. hexl, vcursor, artist, ada, calendar, hanja-util,
and some more.

I guess with addon packages the situation is even worse.  I would be
good to have some checkdoc-like command which would make authors of
elisp packages aware of such problems.
