Agreed.  It may also be a hassle for people who use multiple frames because
IIUC it will create only one frame per emacsclient rather than one per file,
like I use.

I disagree.  It should just revert to the old behavior (i.e. revert the
"-c" arg to emacsclient).

If I understand the code correctly, the choice is made in emacsclient, so it
does not have access to `pop-up-frames' anyway.
