[adamw@adam ~]$ rpm -q autofs
package autofs is not installed
[adamw@adam ~]$
apparently not.
I really don't know - all's I know is it works, perfectly, for my simple
case, and doesn't delay boot, which is more than any NFS mounting setup
I could manage / be arsed to figure out prior to systemd.

You have lost that battle long ago, it is in some dictionaries as a verb already :)
