No, because the most common "auto-answer" case is when csih-client 
scripts are invoked by setup, via a postinstall script.  In these cases, 
the auto-answer setting is "no".

Frankly, I do not believe there should be an "auto-answer=yes" option at 
all. It's just too dangerous. However, csih retained it because the 
original foo-config scripts supported "auto-answer-yes", but I do not 
recommed its use.
