Ummm...what about multiple users with different mount table entries? 
Also, have you considered the performance penalties you'd incur by 
moving mount table entries to a disk-based file?  (Or you could cache in 
memory -- but then how often would you sync the cache with the disk 
file?  When?  c.f. mail archives on the many many optimizations 
concerning /etc/passwd access)
