All: do you think ~/.emacs auto-migration is worthwhile or not?
Please write "yes" or "no" to the list. If you want, add some
comments.
I hated and opposed this feature when it was proposed, I hated and
opposed it when it was made a default. I hate it even more
now having to code around it in my current job.
I think it should just be taken somewhere and beaten with a very
large stick until it's dead, dead, dead.
There are exactly 0 valid usages of it and an apparently infinite number
of harmful ones.
