I think this means that the bottom gutter should be moved. It
isn't relevant to the bottommostwindow per se, it's a frame
element. For instance if I'm using buffer tabs and have two
windows in the frame then the bottom gutter isn't more relevant
to one window than the other.

I just thought, we have one menubar per frame. We have one minibuffer per
frame. I'm beginning to think I wouldn't mind having only one modeline per
frame. I even wouldn't mind having it under the menubar.

While it's not difficult for people to mentally associate the menubar
/ toolbar context to a particular window, it's more difficult for tabs because
they're supposed to be visually attached to the associated window. When having
two windows in a frame, you probably should have two gutters as well ...
