There's worse as I just noticed.  'display-buffer-avoid-small-windows':

- Invariably affects, once set, 'get-lru-window' which can be used
  anywhere outside the scope of 'display-buffer'.  So it's not only a
  misnomer but a typical example of a collateral effect.

- Is described in section 29.15.4 of the Elisp manual which talks about
  "older options" some of them candidates for obsoletion.

- Ignores that an action alist entry of that type already existed.  It's
  called 'window-min-height' and could have been easily used here.

Just that any such option should never be used in 'get-lru-window' but
exclusively in functions that pertain to 'display-buffer'.
