I never used CapsLock for me this was just a key which I 
using xmodmap under linux  to the X modifier hyper.

I am using (X)emacs for more than 20 years (under Unix/Linux). I have
always switched the Caplock and control key, mapped the win key to super
modifier, caplock to the hyper hyper and bound all my emacs macros to
these modifies + fn keys+ print etc.

So having re arranged or removed theses keys  is a complete disaster for me, it
is like cutting of half my fingers.

I hope lenovo will release at least one model with the classical
keyboard and sees what happens.. But realistically  that is very
unlikely.
