Funny. I don't recall that in all those years we ever disagreed on a
single issue. And now we have right two of them.
If the intended customization is to display the *grep* buffer always
in the selected window, then why
"next-error-no-select should override the user setting with
display-buffer-overriding-action because the purpose of pop-to-buffer in
next-error-no-select is to ensure the *grep* buffer is displayed somewhere"
Isn't *grep* displayed somewhere when it shows up in the selected
window and also in some other window? Maybe the *grep* case is
special but I still fail to see why.
