The compatibility issue can also be destructive. You may recall that a 
year or two ago, Mandrake was causing a certain model of LG CD drive to 
basically wipe its firmware. It was caused by a sequence the automounter 
sent to the unit.

But onw way or another, it's a hack. It doesn't make sense for HAL to 
depend on automount, volumagic, etc.
