Times when I really need to ctl-alt-bksp are generally times when the
console state has been completely fucked up so that console switching
doesn't work. And the reason I hit ctl-alt-bksp is usually so I can then
hit ctl-alt-del to reboot the damned machine.

Seriously, how braindead is it to not having *some* reliable way to
trigger a reboot without needing a working monitor or network
connection? (Or working keymap...) If you're going to kill ctl-alt-bksp,
you damn well better enable ctl-alt-del while X is running. (Why was
THAT ever disabled in the first place?)
