They would remain unbound, as now. The only exception would be after typing C-y...
I understand that.So what we have today is: "M-y is free unless preceded by C-y." What you propose is: "M-n and M-p are free unless preceded by C-y." However, the way Stefan put it makes it sound like we're freeing up key bindings here. We're not.
M-y does nothing useful unless preceded by C-y today, so in that sense it's already "free".If you do "C-h c M-y", you will see that M-y is not currently free.
As I said, M-y does nothing useful unless preceded by C-y. In other words, the command is useless unless you do C-y first. This is why I propose that the behavior of M-y is changed so that unless it is preceded by C-y, it enters a new mode which browses the kill-ring with M-n and M-p.
