None of us are questioning the default here, I was simply trying to
discourage people from doing that.

Now that the last holdouts (Qt) have dropped their options to even
revert to the old interpretation at all, I see no point in continuing to
set `select-enable-primary' to t, since all that accomplishes is to make
Emacs less interoperable with other programs.
If someone still wants to turn it on, nothing stops him from doing so.
However, the behaviour of his desktop will become undefined, and other
programs will stop working correctly.
Thanks.
