This is already the case. Latest commit message include links to
lists.gnu.org.

I think the current behaviour makes more sense, if the command is called
with an universal argument. Indeed, what would be the point of using an
universal argument if you get the exact same behaviour as without it?

Out of curiosity is there any to set this variable to something else
than nil? There are already comfortable keybindings to set this
temporarily (C-RET and C-u M-RET). Why would one have M-RET to behave
exactly as C-RET? And even if there was a good reason to do so, why not
simply re-binding M-RET in that case?
