Yes, I will. It can make testing easier, but at the same time it makes working with CVS way more difficult. In particular, it renders cvs diff almost useless (it spits out too much irrelevant information about diffs in configure et al). I believe it is easy enough to run autoreconf from time to time, especially given that Makefile machinery does it automatically for most changes.
I fail to see how it makes `cvs diff' useless, it is trivial to ignore files in a big diff, or you can always do a diff on a specific file you are interested in. We already keep partially generated files in the CVS (GNUlib), so I don't see why we can't keep the rest. I have worked on projects with generated files, and frankly, there is no difference in how you work on them. Also, I find that it isn't easy enough to generate them, sometimes you simply do not have the tools on the machine to do it. Which for my part atleast, happens quite often.
