What are "these files"?

My reading (possibly misreading) of the patch led me
to think that this would affect any files affected by
functions `update-directory-autoloads' and
`autoload-generate-file-autoloads', which users use
to update/specify autoloading locally.

I think you said I'm mistaken about that.  But have
you said which files _are_ affected by this?
