Autowiring is coming to Symfony 3.3

Our services file repeats every class name three times. Once as the id, once as the class, and again in the arguments of every service that needs it. Add a constructor parameter, edit YAML, clear cache, repeat. Symfony 3.3 lands in May and promises to delete most of that file:

services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true
        autoconfigure: true

    AppBundle\:
        resource: '../../src/AppBundle/*'

Autowiring and autoconfiguration on by default, the whole source folder registered in five lines. I have mixed feelings. Sorted, they look like this.
