But it's not recommended.  We say that

      It is assumed that when a caller of ‘display-buffer’ specifies a
      non-‘nil’ ‘allow-no-window’ entry, it is also able to handle a
      ‘nil’ return value.

and 'display-buffer-alist' is not in the domain of the caller.  We just
don't disallow it either so users are free to experiment with it (and
shoot themselves in the foot in the course of things).

Maybe the buffer display is intended to simply wake up the user.  I
would find it disruptive, though.

I'd suggest to fix it your way on master.  As for the release branch,
people can customize 'display-buffer-alist' the way you suggested above.
Eliza WDYT?
