On a server where things don't change much, yes.
On a desktop where external drives are being hotplugged via firewire and
USB, it needs to be there or the functionality will not appear on the
desktop without manual configuration. Usability is where it's headed
folks, and making it usable without being a rocket scientist is what's
required for your Grandmother, for you girlfriend's mom, for the kid
down the street, etc.
