Not necessarily in core. You can put it in a package, add a trivial

keymap. Or a trivial install command that permanently installs
recenter-top-bottom. Or even change the keymap on loading the
library.
Well, I was trying to figure out what would be considered the right
thing. xemacs-devel package or in core? Just flip a coin?
One hard fact that could suggest adding it in core is that the
functions brought in from recent GNU Emacs will be GPLv3 or
later.
This brings me to another related problem which is the
documentation. To be a good patch the docs should be updated
accordingly. Now this can be done in different ways:
- Just ignore the docs for now, possibly enter an issue in the
tracker for it.
- Do a half hearted job and just make the necessary minimal changes
so that the info pages are not wrong but maybe not that good either
- Try to do it right, which might involve, quite large rewrites even
for a small change.
I guess the answer will be -- do it right -- but I had to ask :-).
Yours
