(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)
People have wildly differing usage patterns for killing/yanking, and
there's a bunch of different packages for customising how yanking is to
be performed. But I don't think it would be appropriate to change how
the built-in yanking is done here -- it would annoy too many people, no
matter how you do it.
(In the concrete example you're describing, I think many people just use
registers instead, because the kill ring is too ephemeral.)
So I'm closing this bug report -- this is best left to different
packages to implement.
