Here it is. Note that the VimResized autocommand sets 'laststatus'
to 2 when the window is resized larger, but does set 'laststatus' to
1 when the window is resized smaller. That's because one of my
plugins also sets 'laststatus' to 2 based on other factors and I
don't want window resizing to interfere with that. I resize default
windows larger or smaller, but I hardly ever resize a large window
to less than the default height, so that has never been a problem.
That behavior can easily be changed, though.

if &lines > 25
set laststatus=2
endif
au GUIEnter * if &lines > 25 | set laststatus=2 | endif
" When running the GUI, the number of lines
" isn't known until the GUI is opened.
if exists("##VimResized")
" 'laststatus' may have been set to 2 by ctags plugin. Don't set it back
" to 1 or set it to 2 if already 2 (or 0).
au VimResized * if &lines > 25 && &laststatus == 1 | set laststatus=2 | endif
endif
set ruler
