I remain concerned it's too hard to revert to "classic" emacs behaviour absent any UI for rebinding beyond "use emacs lisp". Right now, there's a mix of customization variable adjustments and a rebinding involved.
It's unlikely that a general customization-type UI for bindings will appear in the immediate future, so I propose for 24 binding mouse-2 back to mouse-yank-at-click but with the addition of boolean customization to control the precise behaviour to allow the desired fd.o-type behaviour. Then one need only adjust customization variables to select between the classic and fd.o-type behaviours, rather than both customization variables and global bindings, which has been a source of confusion and misunderstanding (especially on platforms without a primary).
OTOH, if the mouse-2 binding is not reverted to mouse-yank-at-click, then note there are other binding sites that will need adjustment to mouse-yank-primary to match the new binding of mouse-2 for consistency (e.g. the fringes, where mouse-2 still does a mouse-yank-at-click).
