Comment (by jorbin):

 Some additional questions:

 How do we ensure composer.json's  autoload.files property stays up to
 date?  Is this something that needs to updated manually?  Should there be
 a grunt pre commit hook to help with this? Something else?   Are there any
 regular composer file

 Do we have anything to worry about if plugins are using composer or the
 5.2 autoloader?  Is there a string we can grep the plugin repo for so we
 can alert any plugin authors?

 I added the `composer.lock` file in my patch.  Was there a specific reason
 for not including it before?

 Let's also do a review of the composer.json file to ensure it has only the
 things we want.  I haven't done it yet, but
 [https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md found the schema] for
 composer.json

 Tasks that are still needed:
 - Update .travis.yml to include 5.2 with SPL disabled.
 - Draft a post for make/core with what developers need to do to test and
 how they can update their code.
