Well okay.
1. Supermount is a kernel feature.
2. In Air 7.0 ,AFAIK, it is built as a module,
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/fs/supermount.
3. During boot is called from /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime
4. The script is /usr/sbin/supermount
So I suppose that to completely remove it one could recompile the kernel or
modify the calling script. Since my system works quite well with supermount
and can be disabled I can't see any reason to remove.
The other reason is I'm not a programer and feel very uncomfortable modifying
scripts and have no reason to recompile the kernel.
