I support idea that ctrl-w should retain behaviour that it had all
those years in libreadline5, until it was removed in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980504
and libedit2 made an drop-in replacement.

Could we please change the default keybindings in Debian libedit2 itself, 
instead of having to do same as having to create following ~/.editrc
for all users on all systems in order for seamless transition?

bind "^W" ed-delete-prev-word
bind "^_" vi-undo

Those two would at least (mostly) restore behaviour of two most
missing/changed features.
