subfs dropped in 10.1 Beta 2

Hello all,

During the IRC meeting from 2006-01-24 it was announced that subfs has
been dropped. IRC log and minutes can be found at
http://www.opensuse.org/2006-01-24-status-meeting and the timestap for the
subfs issue begins at 19:47

>From the minutes:
- subfs has been dropped and will be replaced by hal plus
  gnome-volume-manager (under GNOME) and some binary for KDE.
  non-KDE and non-GNOME users have to mount manually. They cant
  even put a line into /etc/fstab, so that a user can mount it.
  There was a consens that this is unacceptable.
Action Item houghi:
- start discussion about subfs replacement in non KDE/GNOME systems on
  opensuse-factory

Questions that arise: 
	- Should this be accepted or should it be delayed till
	  a complete solution is given?
	- As the question came from an FAQ about having subfs disables, is
	  there perhaps a better solution for everybody. Easy disableling
	  subfs for those who want it and enabled for those who want that.
	- What are the implications of reversing the decision? What are
	  the implications of going on as it is?

Any other solutions or comments are welcome as well. Also bear in mind
that some people might login over ssh and do not even have a
windowmanager.
