First of all, it's not my original purpose to oust enterprising
developments.  But as for `display-buffer-alist', it looks hard
to customize so as to make it one's favorite.  In fact, it's
hard (or impossible?) to make it behave as exactly the same as
old Emacsen.  I might get to like it, but my interest is not
necessarily in window.el and I have no time to debug it thoroughly
for the moment.  I was only made to waste time to work around[1].

I think it was not too late to have installed the new feature to
the trunk after having provided an option that enables a user to
make it work like old Emacsen.
