Because the just typing 'cw' should not cause either clipboard or
primary to be altered. The word is highlighted but that should be it,
it should not go into primary (or clipboard or any other selection).
The way it is now the common (for me) work-flow (put something into
primary, go somewhere else, use cw then <middel mouse> to change that
word) described above does not work anymore. The changes to primary
and clipboard described in NEWS have nothing to do with this (or
should not).
