bug#33498: 26.1; Unable to delete minibuffer-only+child frames

Right.

'keep-ratio', not 'keep-ration' - but it's not useful here anyway IMO.
You probably want to make sure that the child frame auto-resizes,
though.  I wrote the corresponding code already but it still needs
some work: It doesn't yet look at the height of the parent frame and
probably should allow for aligning at the bottom of the latter as
well.

Correct.  But that's just the inverse from what you did when you
created the parent-child configuration.  So it's not a workaround but
the canonical way.  BTW, I wrote the reparent code to accomplish doing
precisely what you did here, reparenting doesn't make much sense
elsewhere.  And I plan to document that.  But without the possibility
to auto-resize child frames, the whole concept is not very attractive
yet.
