Yes there is a reason.
Long ago there were two autofs modules that provided the autofs
file system, autofs and autofs4. So kernel module auto-loading
didn't work for autofs4.
Now the autofs module has long since been removed and many times
I have prepared a patch series to rename autofs4 to autofs but
haven't been able to post them as something higher priority has
always come up.
So yes, I need to do that, but it may also be the case that it's
considered to be frequently enough used that it will continue to
be compiled in.

Not sure about those but ext3 and ext4 are probably compiled in
because they are frequently used, ext2 maybe should be a module
nowadays, but not my call.
