Comment (by rmccue):

 Replying to [comment:166 JohnPBloch]:
 > To that end, I propose that we run with @schlessera's proposal to fork
 the PHP 5.2 autoloader generator and, in addition to making it use
 `ABSPATH` rather than a path relative to `composer.json`, it should strip
 out (i.e., neglect to generate) all logic in the loading method after the
 class map until such time that core actually ''uses'' one of the
 autoloading PSRs (which is a completely different conversation).

 Half the reason Composer was suggested in this ticket was to reduce how
 much work we'd have to do, since we could have something ready immediately
 that "just works". Now, the proposal is to rewrite this functionality
 anyway.

 I still think this seems to be a solution (Composer) searching for a
 problem.
