Is the feature request to produce the above buffer order only once,
upon entry to Emacs in this scenario, or is it more general,
i.e. should hold at any arbitrary point in time during the Emacs
session?  If the latter, please define the desired buffer order more
generally, since I'm guessing *scratch* and *Messages* are not the
only buffers you dislike.

In any case, the latter possibility is much harder to accomplish; the
former is relatively easy, but I question its usefulness, given that
it's limited to the initial entry.
