+1000.
`pop-up-windows' shouldn't have been deprecated.
There's no reason to let the "perfect", Rube
Goldberg, hyper-complicated, `display-buffer-*"
apparatus be the enemy of the good-old, simple,
`pop-up-windows' behavior.
I need `pop-up-windows'. But then, I've given
up on Emacs 28+ (even 27+) for my own use,
because of other unfortunate breakage.
Emacs 28 added this to the doc string of
`pop-up-windows':
This variable is provided mainly for backward
compatibility and should not be used in new code.
Used in code? It's a _user option_.
Maybe what was meant was that new vanilla
Emacs code will no longer bother to respect
it. (But if so, why put a guideline for Emacs
development in a user-option doc string?)
