Very interesting. So, we have two very different use cases: * for mounting home directories from network at login time (no symlinks needed, because nobody is expected to poke into others' home directories with a file manager), and * for mounting something normally unmounted, but that should be mounted on the first use (when the user browses the parent directory with a file manager, that's the subject of #2458, symlinks are needed). That's an old-style, but still valid, way of mounting removable media. I think that both should be mentioned, and at least the first one should be covered by an example. -- Alexander E.
