Taking that logic to it's conclusion, I should never spend another
minute reading anything so much as a manpage because whatever
information I gain will be entirely irrelevant by the next time I have
to use it.

You suggest I don't need fstab anymore. To me that's unthinkable.
/etc/fstab is the one constant in every unix manual I've ever read from
the most basic to the most advanced. I couldn't even begin to guess how
an alternative might work. =(
