No, we should not. But we should recognize that current VFS namecache
architecture in FreeBSD makes autofs implementation very impractical
without implementing full nullfs-like vnode stacking, and _that_ should
be considered an argument against adding autofs port and for
re-architecting namecache. We've been through this discussion many
times before and all cards are marked in this game :)
