Not a good idea, I think, since one of the primary uses of C-x C-x is to
re-activate the region!  [for me about 90% of the time I think...]

It'd be good to have an alternate, unbound-by-default variant that
didn't activate the mark though, to make rebinding easy for those that
prefer the no-activate behavior.
