Huh? No one said it is.  My mail was a reply to Yidong, who seemed to indicate
that this is impossible.  You then replied to my mail, indicating that we have
_already_ been told how to get back the previous behavior.

I mentioned that Yidong apparently thinks getting that behavior is not
(completely) possible.

And I stated that I do not see where we have already been told how to get back
the previous behavior.  Where "we" is Emacs users.  Where told means in the
NEWS/doc.

It's a question.  And a statement that if the answer is yes, then a feature has
been lost.

How do you interpret that as my complaining about my having to customize option
`mouse-drag-copy-region'?  I've been very clear that customizing that option to
t seems to do what I need.
