The rules of automation in industry are simple. If it can be automated, it will be automated so long as said automation creates cost savings. The order of automation will always be from greatest to least cost savings at a pace dictated by available project resources.

Amen. I mean, I love the man - but having to do this must feel like some sort of exhausting obligation some days.
