[It isn't `always' by default, it's `t'; but I guess that's what you mean.]

Why do you think that?  If it `select-active-regions' _isn't_ set to t,
then emacs will operate inconsistently, which will confuse some users
and potentially be a source of bug reports.

Since either setting will probably generate some bug reports, but the
current setting is only a problem when the user is running dubious apps
like klipper, it seems safer to keep the current defaults.
