  and then there are those of us who keep things simple 
and don't need all this complexity or interference.

  when i edit /etc/fstab i don't expect or want any
changes to happen to file systems until i reboot or 
manually unmount and remount a file system.

  to me having a system interfere in what i'm doing
is annoying and wrong - i consider it a bug.
