M-y does nothing useful unless preceded by C-y today, so in that sense it's already "free".It's so convenient to have a kill-ring browser, i don't understand why emacs have not one and continue cycling blindly to find something in kill-ring...
It's still much better than any other text editor I know of. And either way, there are already third-party alternatives if the Emacs defaults isn't good enough.
I think it would be better if we rebind M-y completely to enter a new mode which browses the kill ring in the minibuffer. But leave C-y alone.
