I think the current behaviour makes more sense than the old one, really.
For one, it's more predictable -- when you say `M-x shell', you're
getting a shell in the current buffer.  The old behaviour either does
that, or lands you in a different window (if you've already got a shell
buffer open elsewhere), right?
