Yes, there are reaons for this. Primarily, because it usually does not
make sense to mount hardware on a different machine, since you do not
have physical access to it. The more important reason, though, is to
prevent a race condition between the local foreground user session and
other sessions.
(Another reason for wont fix is that g-v-m stopped doing the automount
handling in Hardy, but that's really secondary.)
