Sadly, "keep related things together" and "as close to the bottom as

If I were to pick the middle ground, I would probably move it immediately
after the call to wt_status_print_changed(), with "keeping related things
together" as the primary justification.  It would be an incidental benefit
that it moves the part slightly closer to the bottom and gives it a better
chance of staying on the screen.

I can only speak of my personal experience that during rebase -i,
there is no (or very few) untracked files in the list so that the
sequence  "modified, unmerged, untracked" is also a good alternative.

(I hope the mail-followup-to is correct this time)
