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]
