I see this change has been made. Unfortunately, with my setup (Sony Clie PEG-T425 and memory stick seen as /dev/sda1) it's disastrous.
I've seen all sorts of unexpected behaviour including: i. either of (/mnt/)removable and (/mnt/)hd appearing seemingly randomly on the Gnome desktop; ii. the Unmount Volume right-mouse-button item not doing anything on either of those; iii. when the device is mounted properly, Nautilus being extremely slow at updating directory displays therein; iv. it being unclear when the device is read-write or read-only (I think this is a problem with the Clie rather than with Linux, as it's not 100 per cent reliable even from the command line; however, it's easier to sort out a problem from the command line than from a GUI); v. interactions with scripts I've already written to do various things with the Memory Stick so that these work unpredictably rather than predictably; vi. random absolute lockups, so that even Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Alt-F<x> don't work. Given all this I think supermounting is so dangerous it has to go; this line none /mnt/removable supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 must be banished from /etc/fstab!
