Are you thinking we could live completely without it?

Yes, and your description makes it sound like it doesn't buy us anything
that an entry '* eolconv=true" in .git/info/attributes wouldn't.

I'm not sure I even knew about .git/info/attributes, but it makes a lot of sense.  The config variable would allow a user to turn on normalization globally, I guess, but that's probably not worth it.
