Any explaination why? 'Sorry' really does not help me here.
The newly introduced behavior makes the otherwise great tool
less usable for the idea of being completely compatible with
what you cannot be completely compatible with. I don't
understand why you're ruling out to add the patch (because
you didn't tell it). It would not harm anyone, and the
default setting wouldn't change the default behavior of
tmux at all. It would however free people (and it's not
just me, trust me), from the burdon of rebasing the patch
again and again on top of each new tmux release.

This is like comparing pears and apples. vi(1) is an editor
while tmux is a terminal multiplexer with the option of
copying text to buffers. It makes great sense to copy newlines
within a block of selected text. It does not make sense to
copy a newline at the end of a line when copying only a
*single* line or at the end of a selection (even if that
is what vi does).
