Are you talking about the value menu in the buffer (accessible by
button) or the one in the menu bar?  I could agree with the latter,
but not with the former.  Buttons have in all released versions of
Emacs so far required mouse-2 presses on buttons (only customize
buttons already had special code permitting mouse-1), so we should not
disable this behavior in a single version leap.
