The burden is on you to prove that - in the absence of evidence we
must assume that most or all configure scripts *will* have to be
modified; certainly they will all have to be *examined*, which is a
nontrivial amount of work in itself.  And you completely ignored the
issue of non-autoconf users of config.sub/guess.
