Not unavailable, just not on ^H. It would still be mapped to F1, or
M-xhelp in the worst case. I know some emacs groupies would fight that,
but I long since put (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) into my .emacs--
I've wasted far more time logging in at strange consoles and accidently
getting help when I hit the backspace key then I will ever waste having
to type M-xhelp.
