Are you saying that for example, if I didn't change the binding for a
certain shortcut manually, and a new release of XFCE changes the
shortcut, the shortcut would automatically change?

I am not sure that's such a good idea, because some people expect the
shortcuts to remain the same (especially after editing some of them). It
may be confusing, like "why doesn't this key combination work any more??".

Perhaps it would be better to include a migration script in case of
major binding changes.
