I've used it as a user.  It's easy to forget to log out when you (alone, or
as part of a group) are working on more than one terminal, and those
terminals have auto-screenblank feature.  In such situations, it helps to
turn on autologout (by the shell or by a daemon -- doesn't matter).

If you do put it into the shell, please make it unset by default.
