The manual says: For yanking, one entry in the kill ring is designated the front of the ring. Some yank commands rotate the ring by designating a different element as the front. But this virtual rotation doesn’t change the list itself—the most recent entry always comes first in the list. That's all. I don't see any reason to expand this description of a "virtual rotation", since that would require bringing many internal details into the ELisp manual, with no apparent gain. So I'm closing this bug.
