should xterm-mouse-mode be on by default?

It seems that xterm-mouse-mode is on by default now. 

xterm-mouse-mode is missing some very useful functionality (at least
IMO): 
 - it is not possible to double-click to select a word/line/etc.
 - it is not possible to select text with the mouse in emacs and then
 use mouse-2 to paste in another xterm, or emacs. How would you copy
 text from an emacs running in an ssh session in an xterm? 

A lot of users use these features, so IMO it is not a good idea to
turn on xterm-mouse-mode by default at this point.
