At least, not for me. Too often I deal with spurious autoloads-related diffs that get in the way of real work. I often see them in 'git diff' output and have to remember that they're not real diffs. Once or twice I even committed them by accident to my own repository. This problem has been a nagging low-level build hassle for some time. It's not urgent to fix. But if someone has the time, it'd be nice to fix it.
