No, I don't see that in Emacs 20 (I don't have 19). I not only have a copy of
it hanging around, I use it much of the time!

Maybe, but in Emacs 20 I still see only the adjacent window shrink. I'm on MS
Windows - dunno whether that make a difference.
GNU Emacs 20.7.3 (i386-*-nt5.1.2600) of Thu Dec 21 2000 on buffy

It would be good to present the alternative behaviors to people in emacs-devel
(and maybe even help-gnu-emacs), so they can make an informed choice. And it
might be good to let end users have a choice (e.g., via an option), if that's
feasible.

It's not likely that a branch will be tried by many Windows users who don't
build Emacs themselves.
Before inclusion in a release, a change should be available in a pretest
(prerelease version), and users can test it there. But perhaps there was not
enough pretest time. I believe that pretests used to be longer in the old days.
For another thing, users of a pretest should be informed (at least via NEWS, and
preferably on emacs-devel by anyone who wants something specific tested during
pretest) about new features to be tested.
