I am forwarding below a bug report filed against the octave2.9-emacsen package. The submitter claims that the meta-backspace should not be bound by octave-mode.
I would like to hear from you whether backward-kill-word is really the standard keybinding for meta-backspace and whether it should be changed or not.

Changing the definition to something else is confusing and annoying to these users.
