If systemd takes away that ability, screw it, I'll do what I've always done, have mount NOPASSORD in sudoers, and write a little shellscript, a couple keystrokes called by dmenu, that mounts and tells the mountpoint. Maybe even cd's to it within an xterm session. Of course, I run a one person desktop. No way I'd do that on a server. LOL, the more people bust old features putting in new features, the more I kludge.
