active region persistence

when i select subtrees and m-s-right, they demote, and then i have no
further use for the active region, and have to press c-g.  is it possible
to turn off the persistence of the region so that it follows earlier
behavior and disappears once done?

i have not found a use for the new behavior yet, and would like to revert
if there is a var controlling it.  thanks.  i realize it was a deliberate
decision and must be a very useful one to others.  :)  ^G feels like a "get
out of wrongness" fallback command, not an "expected thing you to to turn
off the region" command.  but that is just me.

No, it is currently not possible.

I do not mind a customization, but would like to see more users looking
for it or to see some use case explained. I find it hard to understand
why would people _not_ want to keep the region active :)
