No. It's mainly that way to root out problems with buffer movement when
the contents change. If it updates once a minute, it makes glitches
appear totally incomprehensible, while when it happens every second,
it's clear what the culprit is.
But I think we've now covered all the problems associated with updating
the buffer from a timer (there hasn't been a bug report in this area for
at least a month, I think), so it's probably time to switch the default
to not show the seconds.
