The buffer is so long already (ca 27000 lines) that adding 40 lines
at the beginning doesn't make it worse.  Otherwise, it is not obvious
for the user that the legend is at the end, so it is easy to miss it.
A link to the legend will help, but it seems moving 40 lines to the
beginning is not a bad thing.
