use the provided script 'supermount disable' to remove all the fstab
modifications. If you still have lingering doubts it can be fully removed
by rebuilding the src.rpm and commenting out the patch %patch36,
specificly, just like any other modifcation you "dislike".

Quite normal.. if it's not broke don't fix it is the motto i believe

No supermount does work.
It like everything else has basic do's and dont's that some people don't
care to learn, Richard among others who see it as just more work and
others whos prefered GUI already handles mounting.
Autodetection of the filesystem type isn't the best, a big problem for
people whose only access to the internet is done via floppy from some
other machine usualy Windows based. I imagine it's a literal nightmare for
those with LS-120 and similar drives where the removeable media can have
all sorts of partition/filesystem types.
To record a cd, cdrecord must "jump thru hoops" to get the drive to the
default state.
Others are just concerned about security.
