I'll see what we can do.
Well, if there is any chance to reconsider, that would be great. I myself would be very happy and I think a bunch of other developers too. I mean a big scrollable/panable text view is quite common for a lot of applications. Mail clients, ebook readers, word processors, chat programs, etc. all profit from copy&past for which we need a way of selecting text. And while I'm on it, I think a flag for enabling/disabling this feature would be good as well. Then for example I could turn selections and editing off when in portrait mode and turn it on if in landscape mode. This way it would be easier to create read-only (or limited) UIs when the device is in portrait mode.
