I think the fringe > face would be good for that. There's already an optional feature to do this: default-indicate-unused-lines. I am always wary about changing default values close before a release, but in this case, it would seem completely harmless to enable this by default. This would make sense, since the purpose is to avoid confusing inexperienced users, who would typically not worry about customizing an option like this. The description of the option in the Emacs manual needs updating regardless, as it currently uses obsolete variable names. Sincerely, Luc.
