It may be. But users already have several ways to do this.

FWIW, I hope that neither such binding is added by default.
It is trivial for any user to add such a binding, if desired.
Many users already have their own yanking (or other) commands
bound to such keys. (Just google `emacs "C-M-y"' and
`emacs "M-y"'.)
In my case, for example, `M-y' is `icicle-yank-pop-commands',
and `C-M-y' is `secondary-dwim'.
____
icicle-yank-pop-commands is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`icicles-cmd1.el'.
It is bound to M-insert, M-y.
(icicle-yank-pop-commands &optional ARG)
For more information check the manuals.
`yank-pop', `yank-pop-secondary', or `icicle-completing-yank'.
Which of these is used depends on the previous command, as follows:
* If the previous command was a yank-secondary command, then
`yank-pop-secondary'.
* Else if the previous command was a yank command (i.e. using the
kill ring), then `yank-pop'.
* Else `icicle-completing-yank'.
In the last case (`icicle-completing-yank'), during completion you can
use:
* `C-,' to sort the candidates to yank in different ways (repeat)
* `S-delete' to remove a candidate entry from the selection ring
* `C-S-return' to copy a candidate to the other selection ring
____
secondary-dwim is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`second-sel.el'.
It is bound to C-M-y, menu-bar edit secondary-dwim.
(secondary-dwim ARG)
For more information check the manuals.
Do-What-I-Mean with the secondary selection.
Prefix arg:
None: Yank secondary.
Zero: Select secondary as region.
> 0: Move secondary to region.
< 0: Swap region and secondary.
Details:
No prefix arg: Yank the secondary selection at point. Move point to
the end of the inserted text. Leave mark where it was.
Zero arg: Select the secondary selection and pop to its buffer.
Non-zero arg: Move the secondary selection to this buffer's region.
Negative arg: Also go to where the secondary selection was and select
it as the region. That is, swap the region and the secondary
selection.
