It shouldn't be.
I think Jeff has pretty much summed it up. The SIGTERM terminates autofs and you then have unnecessary startup and shutdown overhead giving a window where mounts will not work as there is no daemon to manage them. Don't forget that there was also a bug in the lock routines that cause it not to wait sometimes. Apply, at least the locking patch to 4.1.4.
