I think C-M-y would be too inconvenient, so it would almost have the effect of eliminating this feature. We use C-M-w already, and other C-M- combinations, so I cannot see how that would be any more inconvient. Maybe THOSE commands are still useful even if they are a little less convenient. (I don't know; I don't use them myself.)
