Be a little wary.
This is not really fine - systemd should do one thing and do it well
... when it starts to bleed off and try do too many things (with little
to zero rationale or benefit) then the chances of things going wrong
increase.
Just because something 'can' do something does not make it a sensible
design. Since systemd is running daemon it could take over any daemon -
it could even do everything pulse does :-)
Hell any rooted capable daemon process can do the same - autofs
could just as easily start other services for that matter ... doesn't
make it a good design.
Just coz it is doing some mount stuff doesn't mean it should do all
mount stuff ...
autofs should be left alone to do what it does best.
