I'd vote against the change.  This goes against my use case -- I have
only used C-c M-p in buffers having lisp file with (in-package "FOO")
forms, to set the REPL package to the current package in the file.

Then I switch to the REPL to enter and eval forms in that package.
I preferred this style of interaction.
