Redefining yes-or-no-p to invoke y-or-n-p does not solve all problems.
emacs.c has direct invocations of the C function for yes-or-no-p (used for
confirmation before exit when subprocesses are running, or when buffers have
not been saved.).  I can live with those particular calls to yes-or-no-p.  I
guess people who can't could perform these checks prompting with y-or-no-p in
the kill-emacs-hook, or dispense with them altogether.
