And I think there's nothing wrong with the default behavior as it is.
Emacs behaves like that with any window that pops up to show any
content.

   C-h l runs the command view-lossage (found in global-map), which is an
   interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘help.el’.

   It is bound to C-h l, <f1> l, <help> l.

Well it doesn't seem so smart. Every time I use it the bottom half of
its window is wasted. Wouldn't it be smarter to just leave one or zero
blank lines at bottom?
