I'm curious, what is the motivation for this?

I still haven't heard an answer from the original poster.
Putting autofs in the foreground doesn't buy you much, except to debug
initialization. Much of the "business logic" is executed in forked
processes. I'm not against this, but I must say that I find all of the
information I need to debug autofs problems in the logs. That's why I'm
curious as to why someone would invest the time in these patches.
Agreed, but I was keen on the logging changes.
Perhaps Denis can tell us more about this question.
