Including autoconf outputs servers to avoid having to have autoconf installed. Because autoconf installs historically lagged behind what autoconf-using projects wanted, this used to be a problem. Nowadays it's not that big a deal.
As u/nrabulinski says, you can have the CI system generate and commit (with signed commits) autoconf artifacts.
