Why make it part of the OS, though?
Because it should be. Because you don't want ZOMG FREEDOM, a gazillion clipboards that don't work together. I call that "useless shit". I want to go to any web browser, select Unicode HTML, then go to a console application that's currently running in text mode outside the GUI, paste a plain text representation of it, and send a picture to the clipboard from there so I can paste it in a graphics editing program. I call this "useful feature". But OMG, it's your freedom to use one clipboard or another, lolz! You can even compile it from source with -O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops!! Isn't that awesome?

By "part of the OS" I mean an OS service with a standard, unique API for all applications to use, not running in the kernel but the uh... executive? I don't know that much about Linux' internals. This API should support objects with multiple facets; an application may copy an object with different facets (i.e. HTML, plain text, bitmap) and another application pastes whichever it recognises. The API should take care of character set conversion if necessary, too.
