After using the patch for some days, too, I've no strong opinion against
or for this behaviour. I've found no advantage nor a disadvantage. It's
fine and you should keep it as default.

The placement of new, derived buffers after the origin buffer is very
helpful. This groups together what belongs together.
I've used these placement in Firefox (+ Tabmixplus) before. But there was
one difference. Firefox put new buffers after the last unvisited buffer.
I often open buffers in background, e.g. from the google search result.
Now, the last opened buffer is always behind the origin buffer and the
first buffer is far away, the order has changed. This is a little
confusing. Can I somehow change it.
I like the patch and I really second its merge to master.
Bye, Jörg.
