why not simply use the "Click to activate" mode?

This mode is interesting because it allowsme to do both :
 *  With left click I can focus and click ina window without raising 
it, like in focus follows mouse,
 * With right click I can "raise and focus" like in click to activate

So I get both behaviours with a single focus mode, and each of them as 
a separate button.

It's not that there is any functionality loss by changing this, but to 
me it feels strange to introduce new, different modes, then make them 
work the same as other ones.

Before the change, I could left click anywhere in a window, including 
decorator, and it would do the same : focus the window. And right click 
would alwaysfocus and raise. Now the left click will raise if Iclick on 
the border, but not if I click anywhere elsein the window. This make it 
somewhat harder to raise a window if you can't see its tab, as you have 
to point the border which is quite small. This only for the sake of 
making thismode work like the others,which I don't use anyway, so it 
doesn't bring much to me.
