As the one originally responsible for `recenter-top-bottom', let me chime in.
;-)
1. Just as with `recenter', a `recenter-top-bottom' user can always provide a
prefix arg to get the exact behavior wanted. It imposes nothing more than
`recenter' imposed.
2. The fact that we seem to be extending the use of this to other areas
indicates that it has proved to be an improvement wrt `recenter'.
3. I have no objection to user's being able, via an option, to add more cycle
points and define their positions. That's not overengineering, IMO. I think the
default should be what `recenter-top-bottom' defined: 3 cycle points, top,
center, bottom.
