This is not a bug, this is the intented behavior of that feature

I started that discussion (and participated throughout it), and I don't think we actually agreed that this was the intended behavior.


This is the behavior I intended (and described in the docstring and manual), if you prefer. And you did not make further comments in bug#51377, which can be interpreted as a kind of agreement.


I should stress that the case I brought up above is just a counterexample to show a problem with a previous implementation strategy


Which problem?


The current behavior on Emacs 29 certainly isn't what I personally intended when bringing the idea up on emacs-devel.


Is the current behavior of Emacs 29 with my patch and (server-stop-automatically 'kill-terminal) still not what you want? If not, what is missing?


I'm concerned that we're now up to 4 different behaviors, when I think two of them are just the result of a miscommunication between the two of us.


They are not, AFAICS. The four behaviors are four reasonable options, each of which can (and is) described in a short paragraph, and corresponds to a different user preference. I see no reason to remove any of the current three behaviors because of an unspecified "problem". Especially given that all these behaviors are implemented in only ~50 lines of Lisp.
