In my IRC client, if I am scrolled to the bottom, it keeps me scrolled to the bottom as new content is added (to the bottom). But if I am scrolled to any other place my position doesn't change as the chat gets longer. That works out well. So perhaps we could replicate that with something like 'scroll-position-y: sticky-edge'.
