Append automatically selects appended text

[davxy]

Is expected for the text inserted after that the append key (a) is pressed to be automatically selected?

If yes, I personally find this a bit surprising (as inserted text is also highlighted). Is there a way to disable this?

For example the append to the end of line (A) doesn't automatically selects the inserted text.

After some experimentation the question now is: makes sense to maintain the selection when entering insert mode?
If yes, what are the use cases?

I just noticed this, I don't remember it being like that before. If it doesn't select on insert then surely it should not on append? Also the inconsistency with a and A seems really bad.
