It could be, but I don't think we understand all the consequences of
this to be sure.

Yes, it's too risky for the release branch. With all due respect to
xterm-mouse, it's a niche feature, so putting the vast majority of
mouse users at risk on its behalf doesn't sound justified.
So I think we should put that on master and see what happens.

Patches to this latter effect are welcome on emacs-26.
Thanks.
