I'd like to make clear that my advocacy, or even acceptance, of automount, is for a system used as a *personal computer* by exactly one person, and that person either has the brains to know about mounting, or is ignorant enough that s/he's not going to use mount or umount for anything beyond discs and thumb drives. Automount on a server would be crazy.
