Is it? There are only two references to auto-revert-use-notify in 
autorevert.el, and neither changes that var.

Also see:

etc/NEWS.25
1108:*** 'auto-revert-use-notify' is set to nil in 
'global-auto-revert-mode'.

etc/NEWS.26
1070:** 'auto-revert-use-notify' is set back to t in 
'global-auto-revert-mode'.

The latter coming with commit 484967796755051c4045cdcc26b0d3d129cc72ad.

(Which was non-trivial to figure out because vc-annotate doesn't help 
with NEWS files because of rotation.)
