I hope the intent is that this behavior will be optional, and by
default turned off.  If not, I'm going to object to such a change.

Remember, all this was triggered by a single use case: leaning on the
PageDown (or C-v or M-v) key.  IMO, this use case is not very
important, although others might disagree.  In any case, changing the
way redisplay works by default due to this use case makes little sense
to me.

(Apologies if I lost track of what exactly you are discussing here.)
