If you kill one of Ediff's vital buffers, then try to leave Ediff (by
typing q in the control window), there is an error.
The error is:
ediff-visible-region: You have killed a vital Ediff buffer---you must leave
Ediff now!
Recipe from 'emacs -Q' (Windows GUI build):
* Visit a file under version control with unstaged changes.
* [M-x ediff-revision RET RET RET RET]
* In the main frame, kill one of the buffers being diffed
* In the Ediff control window frame, type [q y]

'y-or-n-p' now uses the minibuffer to read 'y' or 'n' answer (bug#38076)

'y-or-n-p' mangles 'this-command'. Something like the attached patch
should fix that.

Can the same be said about read-from-minibuffer?
Shouldn't read-from-minibuffer mangle 'this-command'?
What it some command wants to check if 'this-command'
is 'exit-minibuffer' afterwards? Shouldn't this change better
to be localized to callers in ediff, instead of adding such hack?

You could argue that 'ediff' already breaks
(defalias 'y-or-n-p 'yes-or-no-p)
They would probably say that consulting 'this-command' after a
'y-or-n-p' "has worked ever since". Guess whose argument wins.

Good example. This means that 'ediff' is broken, here is the fix:
