It's a tough decision. It's true that mouse-yank-at-click has fringe
bindings, so anyone who wants the old behavior would need to rebind
those too, which is a nuisance.
However, if we introduce a boolean to control mouse-yank-at-click, that
makes it harder for users to have both mouse yank behaviors available
(by binding mouse-yank-at-click and mouse-yank-primary to different
keys)---unless we introduce yet another command that unconditionally
yanks from the kill ring, which I think is not worth the complication.
All in all, I think it's better to change the fringe bindings to
mouse-yank-primary. For those users who are set on the old behavior,
the minor inconvenience of adding a few extra key bindings is
regrettable but not worth making the proposed change.
