Thanks!  It seems everything is fine.

Do you mean that display-buffer--maybe-at-bottom should not be
obsoleted?  I.e. just to replace the call to display-buffer-at-bottom
in it with display-buffer-in-direction and that's all?

Also I noticed your comments about rewriting display-buffer-at-bottom.
Do you mean just to replace its body with the call to
display-buffer-in-direction, or obsolete it altogether and
replace all its uses with display-buffer-in-direction?
