Back to the original thread: I suspect it might be a better idea to
(temporarily) revert the two changes
and omit it from 2.72 to allow the other changes to get out.
That's not a judgement on whether the changes will ultimately remain in
autoconf, I'm just
hesitant to allow a discussion I've kicked off to derail something that we were
planning
on doing anyway.
