FWIW, I'd consider that more of a documentation change.

More importantly, and certainly only for Emacs 28, Juri could you remind me what we'll be losing by removing the case no. 2 from next-error-find-buffer?

The ability to switch to an arbitrary Grep buffer and start using it with 'M-x next-error'? E.g. if there are several of them. That's more of a backward compatibility concern, right? Or do you have scenarios in mind where this will really save on keystrokes?

On another note, perhaps we could add a message to next-error-select-buffer that would be shown if we suspect this command will not have the expected result for the user.
