I think so. I don't know what was the emacs standard ten yaers ago, but many software nowadays autosave files in a tilded filename. I dont't think this leads to bad expectation.

Maybe it should be a good idea to autosave also backups or undo pile. But imho it is another subject.

So, should this go into "Won't fix"?
