It was against master. Thereʼs no way Iʼd propose a change like this
for emacs-26, itʼs something that would require a lot of testing on a
lot of different systems first (and emacs' existing maximize behaviour
already has its share of problems).

Yes, Plasma has an option you can set in kwinrc. Iʼm undecided whether
I like the functionality or not, but it would be better if we tried to
at least support both kde and gnome here (which probably means
figuring out if thereʼs a way to specify this per-application in kde).
