I understand, and might even agree. But (a) as I wrote elsewhere in
this thread, I don't think display-buffer-alist should be the
advertised means of controlling display of warnings, and (b) I happen
to think that display-buffer-alist is so complex and arcane that
asking users to use it as the means of customizing such simple
settings is not very user-friendly, to say the least, especially when
we change existing behavior (which is likely to cause users to want to
get the previous behavior back).
This is why I suggested to discuss the proposed new behavior. It is
possible that we will all agree that it is superior to the old one, in
which case the above-mentioned considerations will not apply. But if
not, then the default should reflect what we think most users will
want, and how to implement that takes a back seat.
