Is that the right question to ask? I bet the majority of people in 
tech-kern don't use it, and think it should go away. Some other people 
might think it's a good thing, and are using it, but don't see this 
question. Others might not even know about it, or the tuneability, and 
might instead be thinking that the response time have become worse from 
what they experienced in the past, and don't realize that it's because 
autonice isn't enabled anymore.

I'm not sure I consider that a good enough argument. :-)
