Well, at least I'm worried that this could happen.

Ok, but nevertheless the user should have the choice, even if it's just
within the autocutsel package.

So a global configuration can make much sense, but it should be
possible to overwrite it with a local per user configuration. But I
don't know enough about autocutsel to decide if this is possible and
how this can be done.
