Or, whack the file and don't bother with a printk either.  If it's in
your config, and your command line doesn't contain noautogroup, it's on,
so the info is already present (until buffer gets full).  That makes for
even fewer lines dedicated to dinky sideline feature.

Or (as previously mentioned) just depreciate (or rip out) the whole
thing since systemd is propagating everywhere anyway, and offers the
same functionality.

For 3.7, a revert of 800d4d30c8f2 would prevent the explosion when folks
play with the now non-functional on/off switch (task groups are required
to _always_ exist, that commit busted the autogroup assumption), so is
perhaps a viable quickfix until autogroups fate is decided?
