I see no point in sticking to behaviour obsoleted by the operating
system, such as storing cut text in the primary selection. On X, every
client has to cooperate with every other client in order to have working
cut and paste, and a single client deviating from that is sufficient to
bring down the entire deck-of-cards.
We do that for the same reason that we adapt Emacs to changes in glibc's
memory allocator: not doing it will result in Emacs and/or the user's
system not functioning correctly.

I have a solution to Noah's problem while preserving the new
improvements, but I need to see Noah's code to decide if there's a valid
reason to install such a change.
