Well, the code could certainly be changed to use a different user option from
`scroll-conservatively' - perhaps a new option. I said in a previous post:

FWIW, I still think that's the case. Why do you think that
`scroll-conservatively' is commonly set to a large value? The default value is
0, and the Emacs manual says this:
"if you set `scroll-conservatively' to a small number N,
then if you move point just a little off the screen--less
than N lines--then Emacs scrolls the text just far enough
to bring point back on screen."
That suggests that using a small number is not uncommon; it might even be said
to suggest that a small number be used.
Why would someone typically use a large number? More importantly, why would a
number that is appropriate for normal use of `scroll-conservatively' not also
be appropriate for `recenter-top-bottom'?
