I did say that it depends how close they keep to the 'reference'
design or if they add sdcards themselves.... and mass storage from an
ICS point of view is only relevant to unmountable SD media... Note
that the Google engineer making the clarifications (which were already
present in the article I referenced) makes it clear MTP only is an ICS
thing for any device (such as the GN) which does not have external
unmountable storage.

Anything declared as internal storage and not unmountable will only be
usable via MTP (which is why the GN is MTP only) and so it remains of
interest for some sane solution to be able to access the disk of any
unmountable data volume of an ICS device...

Also anything that ends up having a reliance on access to the data at
the same time as the connected host would require this too.
