And to add a bit more background; we discussed this with James directly, who
also said this AUTO_USERID feature is not used anywhere he was aware of; most
likely for specific use case for a side project he was involved in.  Anyhow,
James didn't think this feature had any value any more.

Arne: Lately you've often forgotten to add -s to git commit.  Please double
check your patches in this regard.
