Hmm. The default mac68k setup mounts it, though that might be more due to
how our installer makes a default /etc/fstab.

Though shouldn't the question be what percentage has it? I bet a lot of
people (most mac68k folks for starters?) mount it, but don't use it.

Sounds like the classic chicken-and-egg problem. No one uses it, so no one
has it. No one has it, so no one uses it. :-( Maybe tools should just
start using it if it's there, and doing things better if it's there. :-)

Take care,
