Well, the default delivered presently is "always"

cus-start.el, line 201

  (select-active-regions killing
                    (choice (const :tag "always" t)
                        (const :tag "only shift-selection or 
mouse-drag" only)
                        (const :tag "off" nil))

"only" would work,

so why not change it to?
23 comes with "nil" as default.

See a unnecessary change of behaviour so far.
