I don't think it was for the sake fo comint-scroll-show-maximum-output. Why do you think so? My 2005 message seems to say it was for the sake of comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input. 1) Don't set it to 10000 in comint buffers, since it doesn't seem to be needed. How did you reach the conclusion that it isn't needed? To see if this setting really avoids a problem, we'd have to try some cases that make comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input to something nontrivial.
