    Imagine a computer with no user, just root, and an empty /home
directory. You plug in your USB disk and, automatically, your disk is
mounted under /home /and you become a user of this laptop/ - no need to
have root priviledge and enter your name and password in the database.
There's nothing precious on the computer, except the contents of /your/
disk.

    I would consider this a nice feature. I simply don't want it to be
managed by poetterware, and even less by systemd.
