I won't say that those who prefer a separate minibuffer don't deserve
a choice, but it would be my guess the Jamie and fellow coders at
Lucid would have less of a headache by eliminating a seldom used
option.  If it makes any difference, when I upgraded Epoch from 3.2 to
4.0, everyone here was very pleased that this orphan minibuffer had
finally returned home.

In fact, I completely disabled the separate minibuffer even as an
option, because observation of users familiar with ordinary Emacs made
it clear they could never quite figure out where it was or what it was
doing.  I think if the minibuffer had not been separate to begin with
(in Epoch), there would have been so few requests for it that it would
have never been implemented, but I am not in a position to back this
claim with any hard evidence, since for all I know, it was implemented
_because_ of user requests which happened before I joined this mailing
list two years ago.
