I carry a deltask for it myself, and Cal sent a series to disable the
check recently (via a variable).

So yes, it can (and often should be disabled) for AUTOREV -dev recipes.

I pushed 4.10-rc8 to the -dev kernel a few days ago, hence why things
are triggering while my recipe version bump is cycling through the
merge process.
