## By default, maintainer mode is enabled in development branches and disabled

+## NOTE: In 1.8, we have maintainer mode turned OFF at all times. This is
+## because we have the generated files committed in this branch.
+## The lack of consistent timestamps from git and bin/reconfigure's
+## demand for ancient and particular versions of the autotools makes
+## maintainer mode unusable in 1.8.x.
