right ctrl is the standard access key for level 5+6 (just like right alt
is for levels 3-4 and yes you'll find keyboards where right alt is the
same as left alt and not alt gr)

See for example this:

So you can not remove right ctrl use without lowering the layout level
number, and if you do so people start emitting nbsp my mistake (that was
the biggest source of complain for one of this layout ancestors)
