Normally I would agree with that reasoning, but not here. The reason
it has been this way for a long time is probably because cua-mode has
not got much attention. It has been kind of a second class citizen.
Perhaps no one really expected it to work. I think it would be good to
show that we care about this.

Doesn't this change only affect cua-mode users? I think those desire
this change.
