While changing the defaults is certainly a new thing*, I'm sorry, but if you think the _option_ for the behaviour itself is new, then you have just been completely tuning it (and sometimes heated threads around it) out for some years now. Maybe you thought it didn't matter to your platform or something (which would be a perhaps understandable assumption, though a naive one given the way the w32 and ns ports work). select-active-regions and x-select-enable-primary were first added to emacs in late 2007 (rev 83308). They're in NEWS.23 mouse-drag-copy-region was apparently added in 2004 (rev 55223)), it's in NEWS.22 Using them to produce the desired behaviour has also been documented on EmacsWiki/CopyAndPaste since early '08 too, not that that's official documentation, just illustrating this is not new (people choosing to switch it on are rather less likely to do things that break it, though).
