I have no strong opinion. Second patch locally restoring 
`pop-up-windows' is more suitable for the bugfix branch since it is 
closer to older behavior. Dropping the macro completely may be a step to 
future, so first version of patch is more suitable for main (do not 
forget to drop other variant during merge however).

I am not confident with complicated `display-buffer' machinery. It has 
action argument that looks promising to specify local hint to override 
default actions but to let users customize `display-buffer-alist'. I 
have no idea of particular hint for `org-goto' though. Unfortunately 
`with-output-to-temp-buffer' used there does not allow to specify action 
argument for `display-buffer'. Unsure if `temp-buffer-setup-hook' can be 
used to prepare a window for `display-buffer'.

Does someone have settings that pins help buffer to particular 
window/frame of location in a frame (e.g. bottom of "sidebar")?
