Maybe... :-)

As it stands, this is only for removable media which people have not
already set up as part of their systems. The whole issue here is that
this is not useful any more. If anybody is relying on being able to
use such media without any of the existing auto-mounting stuff
(desktop or whatever), adding it to /etc/fstab manually later isn't
hard. I don't really see likely breakage here.

Anybody else?
