This is consistent with the way that Clojure handles small integers, and can avoid unexpected issues downstream when you attempt to, e.g., use these numbers as keys in a HashMap and then look them up with Clojure integer literals.
I guess it's technically a breaking change, but it didn't break the tests, and Clojure itself has waffled a bit on this sort of behavior without much hubbub (e.g., (int 2) produced an Integer in Clojure 1.0, then a Long in Clojure 1.3, then an Integer again in 1.4, if my memory serves me right).
