    You mean that you added the constraint that even when started with
    a filename and even on a small terminal, the startup screen should
    be immediately visible in its entirety?

It is nothing new.  This was the case before the recent changes.

    PS: What is an "ordinary size terminal" nowadays?

The default for xterm is 24 lines.  I think that is the usual case.
Of course, more experienced people may customize the height, but we
need to aim to do the best thing for when it is not customized.
