16 Active projects usually get updated to include new featuresm whatever they

19 I first used supermount as auto mounter. Then suddenly it disappeared and
20 was replaced by submount. Which behaved differently, I had to adapt my
21 scripts. submount then again got removed, I started using ivman, again I
22 had to change my scripts to adapt to different behaviour. Now I wonder
23 what will come next and in which way it will differ.
