It's legitimate provided as long as you (1) don't want to display your
frame in fullscreen mode and the screen size is not an integral
multiple of the frame's character size, and (2) don't use a tiling
window manager.

Doesn't that imply that one cannot use Follow Mode for *info* buffers?

In general, you cannot "disable" partial lines on graphical displays
any more.
