I think this is a misfeature. Imagine a user answering "Do you want
to save important file X before closing?" and is used to always having
"y" in her history. This time, "n" was the first item in history
because of some previous but now forgotten invocation the night
before. But the user hits "M-p RET" by habit, expecting that to mean
"y", and ends up discarding important work.
Using this puts a cognitive load on the user if she doesn't want to
make mistakes.
