Yes.  Redhat in their infinite wisdom have disabled this setting in 7.2.

Well I eat my words friend, I was about to middle mouse button the
entire thing into evolution (mail client) and say "point to the line
that says here's how ya make the escape key autobind", but as I was
nearly finished my eyes glanced across the line.  I guess my short
attention span made it look worse than it was.

Anyhow I use vi bindings in ksh and whatever it defaults to in bash.  I 
find myself using bash more often especially having to go back and forth
between windoze and unix.
