Then packages should provide separate commands to display
the buffer in the same window and in another window, e.g.
`Buffer-menu-this-window' and `Buffer-menu-other-window'.

There are simpler options `same-window-buffer-names' and
`same-window-regexps' that are very easy to understand
(a simple list of window names).

No application should bind user customizable variables unless it's expected
by users (e.g. when a function name has the suffix `...-other-window'.)

This is a legitimate way for an application to define
its default behavior. Look for example at:
;;;###autoload (add-hook 'same-window-regexps "\\*info\\*\\(\\|<[0-9]+>\\)")
> may conflict with users expectations
When the default value conflicts with users expectations, the user
should be able to customize it, and user customizations should be
respected.
