I strongly oppose it. I've used M-n and M-p for forward-paragraph and
backward-paragraph for years and I'm sure many other people use them for
other things too. Please, leave M-n and M-p for other things than
browsing the kill ring in this manner. There is already many different
ways to do this, all on the Emacs Wiki.[1]
