Actually there are a few other things we could do:
1 - try to keep messages short (which was my original point and is always
the best solution when it's available).
2 - use scrolling if the message is larger than the minibuffer
(IIRC there was some package back in Emacs-20 days that did just that).

My email was reminding people to keep messages short. It was not meant to
tell them to wrap their long messages in ugly and brittle hacks like
(let ((resize-mini-windows 'grow-only)
(max-mini-window-height 1.0))
