No one else complained in all the years this feature existed, so I think you greatly exaggerate the probability of this happening in reality. My guess is that this is simply yet another attempt to convince that you have uncovered a grave problem, which is patently false. > Anyway, please change the prompt wording > > Auto-save?

(y RET or [n] RET) We never do anything like that in any other questions we ask the user, so I see no reason to make this case an exception (and risk confusing the user even more).
