Answer, I have no idea!

I shoot in Manual most of the time, my only issue with not having RAW in Auto- other than the fact that it's stupid-

Not really, as there's a good reason for it IMHO.

In "Full Auto" (aka brainless) mode, the full Auto will select the scene mode IT determines the best to be used. As with most OTHER digicams the majority of scene modes (HDR, Night Shot, etc.) are not supported with RAW. Hence to be able to use RAW in Full Auto Mode all the non-supported scene modes would have to be disabled and results would be very similar to using the P mode.

is that I let friends/family members shoot most of my cameras, and I'd like to be able to "save" anything the relative and the camera together can't figure out!

For these types they would not know the difference between Full Auto or P mode. The P mode provides more than enough auto exposure, AF, etc. to ensure good pics with RAW, and you can enable/ disable the various Auto settings in P mode to yourpreferences when others use the camera.
