What he said!
My laptop and my desktop will be easy to use.
Multi-user systems are a different kettle of fish. Security has to take
to take precedence, but make it too difficult and nobody will use your
new OS in the first place...

Well, I definitely want it. Not sure if I'm counted in the original
three, or if I make four.

No one is more paranoid when it comes to security than me. But as for
the security risk of automount, I only see it as a problem if we are
talking about a multi-user system in an organization. A single user at
home is a likely scenario for many of us.
Ideally, automount is something that a user should be able to easily
configure. If you'd rather have click-to-mount or fully manual mount,
that's fine. I don't see why it should be any more difficult than
editing a text configuration file (or clicking a box in a gui) to
change the setting.
cheers,
