Perhaps it would be good in transient mark mode

the region is available as a selection.
The problem here is that if you use transient-mark-mode (I do) then
you activate the region often, for a variety of reasons, mostly
unrelated to the kill ring. So if each time the active region got
copied to the kill ring, then the kill ring could easily get clobbered
with unwanted entries. You can do M-w if you want to put the region
in the kill ring.
Sincerely,
Luc.
