How does that matter? Automake is only required for folks who build
from git, i.e. developers. And those should not have a problem with
keeping there system up-to-date.
I do see value that the tarball stays compilable on older
distributions, since it is used by admins and other non-developer
folks. But the git tree? If someone uses that he should be expected to
keep his things up-to-date.
1.11 is two months old already now.
