Let me make sure I'm following here. Existing doc says: delete-auto-save-files's value is t Documentation: *Non-nil means delete auto-save file when a buffer is saved or killed. Note that auto-save file will not be deleted if the buffer is killed when it has unsaved changes. So the new behavior in future releases will be in accord with that documentation: If one `C-x C-f file' when no actual file is on disk, then types into it. Then aborts with `C-x k ' An auto-save file will remain on disk. That is, piles of #file# will soon develop. At least with my usage pattern. 20.7 doesn't do that either. At least not by default. Is that your take on RMSs' response?
