Comment 22 for bug 1842947

My opinion is the same as I stated it in comment 18. I think there's a risk that a latent problem might be exposed by running autoreconf and changing the build configuration. I think such a problem is unlikely to be triggered by a regular SRU or a security update, since they will generally patch without manually running *or needing to run) autoreconf, and AIUI it won't automatically run either. Therefore I don't see the benefit of landing this change in Xenial. I don't see a specific problem it would fix, nor do I see a significant future risk of a problem being exposed.

Dan says he doesn't follow my logic, so perhaps I'm missing something. If so, I'm happy for another SRU team member to make and follow a different decision.
