Well, that's not the only thing that file is good for. For decades, I have
used the auto-save-list-file-name file to re-open all the files I had open in
the terminated Emacs process when my remote connections are severed. It's
been abundantly useful over the years. It's a shame to lose such
functionality. Just my two cents.
