Active projects usually get updated to include new featuresm whatever they
may be.
I first used supermount as auto mounter. Then suddenly it disappeared and
was replaced by submount. Which behaved differently, I had to adapt my
scripts. submount then again got removed, I started using ivman, again I
had to change my scripts to adapt to different behaviour. Now I wonder
what will come next and in which way it will differ.
