Must say that like many others I had the habit of double clicking a URL in order to copy it - a task which I repeatedly do in my work as to paste the URL in a text editor in order to track report URLs which I'm spawning via the terminal. It seems to me that the fact that many users relied on this "accidental" feature, should cause a change in mind and make it an actual feature.
