I see your point, but could you comment on the use of a udev 
rule that aims solely to auto-mount detachable media such as 
USB sticks? I've been using a mounting rule which starts

KERNEL!="sd[b-z][0-9]", GOTO=<get out>

on a system where the only hard drive is /dev/sda, and sdb and 
higher will only be USB memory devices. This has worked fine, 
although in one respect the rule is now out of date, in that 
it includes

 IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"

which I guess should be substituted by

 IMPORT{builtin}="blkid --noraid" (?)

Would this be considered kosher in context?
