Well, select-active-regions was introduced (though not made default)
rather before the ^-type shift-selection appeared AFAIK. From my
perspective, it would be breaking something that was largely working as
initially intended and (unlike with the general defaults change) not
giving the option of having it work the way it did* anymore (well, apart
from patching it in locally, I'm hardly incapable of doing that).
If you do choose to go that route, at least consider making c-spc active
regions and shift/mouse active regions visually distinct, so the
differing selection behaviour is less surprising (not how the secondary
selection is presented in a different color in emacs, for example) - I
mean, that was historically an annoyance with mouse selection, its
interaction with x11 selection and the kill-ring was significantly
different to keyboard selection, despite the similar presentation.
* or at least, as it did, only with several now-known outstanding issues
fixed, of course.
