Sometimes. But electric car starters are not anything new, they were
patented in 1911, 15 years after they were first produced, at a time when
Artificial Intelligence meant nothing. And there is a reason things evolve,
expecially in technology. They do not always evolve the right way, but I see
no reason to abandon mature technology (like Xorg autoconfiguration
capabilities) for something old and impractical just because in the old times
we all did things that way (cursing and yelling at the blank monitor's
message: "Mode unsupported").
