After the release we could look at the arguments for and against the change. In a terminal shell, using up arrow to recall history doesn't clobber the partially complete command you are composin. If you go back down, it is still there (even if it's blank). Not so in comint modes. Going down with M-p only wraps you around the input ring. This would clearly be an improvement. Can you implement it?
