Tomasz,
take a step back... This is just a kernel config change, no reason to
get angry.

It is used by systemd for various less-frequently used mount points
and automount entries can be configured in /etc/fstab.
Really?
(my jaw is on the floor crashed into the pieces)
I must honestly confess that in the meantime systemd swallowed autofs as well!
So (a bit off-topic) what was wrong with autofs as a separate small process started only when it was necessary? Do you remember that?
Because with some bits of the autofs user space process in systemd when someone would be using automonter maps loaded over LDAP (going over glibc NSS layer) it will be some redundancy between those parts.
PS. I think that now I have the proper impuls/reason to port SMF to Linux.
