Of course.
I, for one, am more likely to choose a key binding as "available" if it is
undefined - that's what I meant. But yes, you are strictly correct: all keys
are available for rebinding.
And yes, being bound to command `undefined' is not strictly being undefined
either... But it indicates that the current mode/buffer/map has declared no
a priori use for that key. That's a good indication to a user that s?he will
miss nothing by binding that key. I'd say it's practically an invitation.
