Not true.
When did that change? That's how it's behaved for me, for many years.
I went to using autofs to auto-mount remote shares on demand, long ago,
for reasons the original poster outlined:
It's not there until you request it, so computers don't stall when you
try to boot and the remote end isn't there. Likewise it removes itself
after a while, and you don't get a huge long stall when you try to
shutdown a computer because the remote end isn't co-operating.
