I question the choice of eval-expression as a disabled command. A person ignorant of Lisp isn't going to do themself any damage with this command. On the other wand, it's quite easy to type C-w instead of C-e or C-s or C-q, but oddly enough kill-region is not disabled by default. A stray C-w can do more damage than anything else I can think of, and it does it immediately, and with no questions asked. Undo won't get the text back either, if the region you killed is too large. C-y will get it back, but that won't help much if you don't know what made the text go away in the first place.
