Well, I definitely want it. Not sure if I'm counted in the original three,
or if I make four.

No one is more paranoid when it comes to security than me. But as for the
security risk of automount, I only see it as a problem if we are talking
about a multi-user system in an organization. A single user at home is a
likely scenario for many of us.

Ideally, automount is something that a user should be able to easily
configure. If you'd rather have click-to-mount or fully manual mount,
that's fine. I don't see why it should be any more difficult than editing a
text configuration file (or clicking a box in a gui) to change the setting.

cheers,
