In the 25 years that we've had the PC keyboard nobody has ever used the SysRq key and the Scroll Lock has only ever been used by mistake, and yet they pick on Caps Lock? Certainly it's too prominent. On my own Thinkpad that I'm typing on now Caps Lock is actually oversized, yet Num Lock, a much more useful key, is some obscure combination involving the Fn key. Perhaps we should be speaking in terms of "keyboard reform" rather than banning a useful key for being abused.
