Future and impact of ongoing projects in Linux world

Since the topic seems to be mounting of devices from user space...

1) You can use sshfs to mount pretty much any directory,
    anywhere to which you have password access on any mount
    point for which you have privs. I used to use it a lot.
    Works great.

2) I would love a feature in which I could add a blkid to
    fstab such that if I plug that particular USB or other
    storage device into my machine, that instead of mounting
    in /media/user/diskname, it would mount just like any other
    disk would at boot time. I haven't seen a way to do this,
    although I believe old automounters were fine with such.
    defaults, auto won't do it because it will hang you up
    waiting at boot time (well, you can set other options to
    prevent the hang, but its not really what I'd like to see.
