I'm not aware of any previous discussions of whether or not emacsclient should have a --geometry argument. It would probably be in one of the emacs mailing list archives somewhere if it had happened. Personally I'm not sure there is a need for a specialized --geometry argument, since it would just do a subset of what -F does.
