I do not immediately understand.  Nick is proposing to revert the 1998
change and do essentially nothing else, so any problem the 1998 change
fixed will reappear, unless it has been undeliberately fixed in the
meantime by some other change.

Or was the original problem that for some reason people did not _want_
the results in their *Find* buffers to be automatically changed when the
file system changed as a result of operations in another Dired buffer?

The only additional thing I could find that might be relevant to the
present discussion is that find-lisp.el contains code completely
similar to the one in find-dired (see line 191 and following).  So
_if_ the code in find-dired should be changed, then it seems likely
that the one in find-lisp should be changed too, although I did
not check this. Quoted from find-lisp.el, starting at line 191:

;; Most of this is lifted from find-dired.el
;;
(defun find-lisp-find-dired-internal (dir file-predicate
                                          directory-predicate buffer-name)
  "Run find (Lisp version) and go into Dired mode on a buffer of the output."
  (let ((dired-buffers dired-buffers)


Sincerely,
