Half the distros I've used couldn't mount flash drives. If systemd
takes away that ability, screw it, I'll do what I've always done, have
mount NOPASSORD in sudoers, and write a little shellscript, a couple
keystrokes called by dmenu, that mounts and tells the mountpoint. Maybe
even cd's to it within an xterm session.
Of course, I run a one person desktop. No way I'd do that on a server.
LOL, the more people bust old features putting in new features, the
more I kludge.
