For most setups, I'm sure that would be useful. For the lab I used to run it wouldn't have been because I had a mixed Solaris/Linux network, and the automounter maps used cachefs which is only available on Solaris, so I didn't want the Linux boxes seeing the NIS automounter maps. Most people probably would just forget the cachefs and have a portable NIS automounter map.
