It's not that I refuse to track it, it's more that I don't see the reason
for it.

process and cannot be autogenerated on all systems,
With this argument, we would need to track all of `src/` also...
> * exclude it because it's automatically generated before shipping (as
configure, Makefile et al files in autotools driven packages!)
Exactly, other projects would not usually track `configure` in version
control.
