@Sebastien: I can only share my opinion here, but maybe it's not
uncommon.

I've been regularly (=sometimes multiple times per minute) using
Alt+Shift as the switcher for more than a decade, I'm so used to it that
I'm not even willing to try to change this habit. Any attempt in getting
used to a new one would cause a huge loss of productivity, and big
frustration.  Call me old-fashioned, I spent quite some time getting
used to Dvorak, and later to Colemak, but gave up all.  I'm already used
to something and I don't see why I would need to change.  Forcing any
change would be like forcing me to swap Y-Z after ~15 years of touch
typing. I'd scream and uninstall Ubuntu for good.

So: please let everyone continue to use their favorite shortcut keys,
whatever they've been using previously!  Otherwise it's a giant
usability regression.

Also, the press order of modifiers, and the release order of any keys
(modifiers and normal keys) should not matter.  Alt+Shift should mean
press Alt and Shift together in any order, then release them in any
order. Maaaaybeee forcing a particular press order is acceptable if it
absolutely necessary (that's what happens with modifier+letter combos
anyway), but depending on the release order is not.
