I know that I can turn centering on and off within the Summary buffer,
but is there any way that I can specify that the current article is
always X number of lines from the top or bottom of the summary buffer,
whatever the default is? ... short of rewriting `gnus-summary-recenter'
altogether, that is.

I run Gnus within a 48-line window with around 10 or so lines for the
Summary buffer window.  I like having the current article header
positioned 2 or 3 lines up from the bottom (or 7 or 8 lines down from
the top) instead of the default 2 or 3 lines down from the top of this
Summary buffer window.  This current positioning seems to be hard
coded into `gnus-summary-recenter' ... or am I missing something?

Any ideas?
