save-some-buffers gets called a lot when you use packages which call
external tools (like AucTeX, compile, magit, etc.), and people were
annoyed to get asked every time if the dribble file should be saved, so
in the end Lars decided to set buffer-save-without-query. I think this
is a very minor issue (and hence perfect for bikeshedding, strange
analogies and MS bashing).
