I know quite a lot of people (including myself) who don't like any automatic mounting at all! It might be a nice feature for beginners or newbies with previous experiences of the Windows world, and I am sure that there are also many other Linux users out there who think that this is a good feature - however, there are also other people around and one should never forget this fact (even SuSE has a bit of humour when you look at the Makefile of subfs: "Makefile for the SuSE Windows XP subfs filesystem routines", SuSE 9.2 kernel source). Unfortunately, with every new SuSE version it gets more complicated to get rid of all that (from my point of view) unnecessary and unwanted stuff. Don't misunderstand me, I do not propose to avoid having any automatic mounting mechanism in SuSE, but one should at least be able to easily deactivate it and to use the traditional way of mounting. I would really appreciate (and surely many other people as well) if this could be considered as some sort of boundary condition for any new mechanism that is included in the distribution...
