Ctrl+Arrows keys in .inputrc to move a word forward/backward by default

I've been using cygwin for last 2-3 years so I've already configured my
environment.
Recently made a clean installation on a new server and found that keys
to move a word forward/backward (Ctrl+Right/Left) do not work by
default.
This shortcut works out of the box in many popular linux distributions.
Why not add this combination in the "/etc/skel/.inputrc" by default?
Think it would be a nice usability improvement.

I find that Alt-F and Alt-B work great and keep my fingers much closer 
to "home row".
