I vote for 

1) leave the redefining code in x-keydefs.sl but let the default be 
   "no redefine ESC", provifing a function for redefinition; 
2) in cua.sl and brief.sl, call the redefinition. 

I use xjed extensively, and Alt modifier is the default modifier to "go to
the window manager" here, so that change would be quite quite noticeable...
I am very used to do ESC % to find-and-replace, ESC w to copy region etc
etc... 

Otherwise, please put a big big warning in changelog. Thanks
