OK, so he is the 2nd one since June 2010.  How does that change the
picture?

Every behavior can be problematic in some edge cases.

Anyway, I'm not part to this argument.  I don't customize
scroll-conservatively (or any other of the scroll-* options).  I just
coded it like users who complained wanted.  Judging by the silence
since then, I'd say the change was mostly right.  But if I'm wrong,
someone else can come up and code something different.
