Well, I was trying to avoid doing that, but:

o I'm having a hard time getting used to 'R' and 'C', and

o I've never used the functions 'r' and 'c' are bound to in the new
  dired (dired-read-mail and dired-change-marks).

So I guess I should change them...

Another thing I do via dired a lot is compress/uncompress.  I think I
like the new binding of that: 'Z' toggles compression, rather than 'C'
to compress and 'U' to uncompress.

Do you change that one as well?
