Fair enough. But, to me, the point is to be able to plug something
in and have it "just work" without restricting myself to a static set
of devices.

Using usbmgr and autofs, all I have to do is plug a card reader in and
look at the mount point (in, say, nautilus). Voila! It shows up and I
have permission to read and write whatever is there.

I prefer flexibility.
