So your counter-proposal is just stop at saying (possibly a milder equivalent of) "nope, auto is no longer available. deal with it"? Or does it go even stronger and not even special case "auto" that user sets (i.e. and start commented lines with "auto " prefix)? A simpler solution that would work for existing users is more attractive than an overly complex one, of course, but I need to gauge how simple you want to go. Thanks.
