: Doesn't matter.  Linux has "always" had the default erase = ^? in both
: the tty defaults and the console defaults.

Bruce is right about Linux.  It has always had the default character
for the <- be 0x7f.  People have changed this on their own systems,
but it has been the default at least since 0.99p2 or so.  I had to
hack the keyboard driver to swap the control and cap locks keys, but I
didn't have to hack it for delete.
