It was discussed and the current behavior seemed to be the consensus
choice.

I agree that it can be confusing, but I think it's much more dangerous
to change the default behavior of C-a/C-e, because people depend a lot
more on their precise behavior (whereas C-n/C-p are more often used in
conjunction with visual feedback).
