Because it would surprise me otherwise, and I would be surprised that
other users wouldn't be surprised by this. As I said, I mentionned a
habit of mine, but I guess for command like C-l we all share the same
background of fundamental habits.

Yes. Again, I am just trying to make my point very clear so that other
users thinking the same can say: I like recenter-top-bottom but I also
expect the point to jump to the center when it's nearby, so I prefer
recenter-top-bottom #2 over #1.

So we should spare us Emacs specific surprises :)
Lets give time to people to see what they think.

Note that it is much easier to have an "opinion" on C-l than to have one
on whether Rimbaud should have delayed his retirement. Much easier, but
much also.
