Well, the default delivered presently is "always"
cus-start.el, line 201
(select-active-regions killing
(choice (const :tag "always" t)
(const :tag "only shift-selection or
mouse-drag" only)
(const :tag "off" nil))
"only" would work,
so why not change it to?
23 comes with "nil" as default.
See a unnecessary change of behaviour so far.
