The default behavior in emacs-29 is now the same as it was in 28.2, so I
don't see any need to make further changes at this point.

If my (admittedly limited) understanding of display buffer actions is
correct, then calling display-buffer or pop-to-buffer with a
'reuse-window' action would only differ from a call without any action
if either:
  (a) display-buffer-base-action has been customized, or
  (b) the buffer name has been listed in same-window-buffer-names or
      matches same-window-regexps
This assumes that display-buffer-fallback-action has its default
value, which it should since it is defined with defconst in window.el:

 (defconst display-buffer-fallback-action
  '((display-buffer--maybe-same-window  ;FIXME: why isn't this redundant?
     display-buffer-reuse-window
     display-buffer--maybe-pop-up-frame-or-window
     display-buffer-in-previous-window
     display-buffer-use-some-window
     ;; If all else fails, pop up a new frame.
     display-buffer-pop-up-frame))

Perhaps this answers the question in the above code, --maybe-same-window
seems to be for backwards compatibility to allow the use of the
same-window- variables, which pre-date window actions.
Using display-buffer-alist is the recommended way to do things now, and
gets first priority.

Thanks,
-Jeff
