I think this must be a misunderstanding. No one is talking about saving changes without the user saying so. The purpose of the patch is that Emacs should be able to ask the user at logooff/shutdown to save the changes. The situation now is that the changes are thrown away if they are not saved before.
If Microsoft's guide lines are what someone stated here, maybe the reason for them is that the shutdown process is considered to have higher priority than a user's unsaved data? If that is the case, halting that process maybe isn't such a good idea. Someone said that the autosave is enough and I agree. Your argument against it, that someone might edit the file from some other program before using the auto save data, does not seem like a very likely scenario. Or is it?
