But there is: the context lines.
But they are invisible :)
As I understand, context lines is option to skip less lines then window height when scrolling. However, it heavily affects how scrolling is done. For example in non-0 context lines setup, when you scroll down (with M-v) from the very bottom of the buffer and only one line is display in the buffer at moment, scrolling won't even move a point! just show more content. At least now, I see this context lines concept very complex, undocumented, triggering unexpected results.
For me, scrolling is just a way to *move* your point fast in a predictable way, showing maximum content to the user, that is not what we get with default Emacs settings right now.
I would like to have scroll behaviour I got with setting context lines to 0, but yet skip less lines then window height :))
