Steve's original announcement with the title 'Preferred automounter
behavior?' dates back from 2015 archived at
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/thread/20151227.073016.5fc97e4f.en.html#20151227.073016.5fc97e4f.

In this thread it is mentioned that for use as a daemon you better user
the python-inotify module because just piping inotify does have
unexpected behavior like with runinit and s6.
