iTunes 7 mounts remote drives automatically

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this. I have all my music files on an NFS server on my home network, and have to mount the server before starting iTunes otherwise iTunes won't see any of my tracks (and starts marking them with the dreaded ! of doom).

However, this appears to have changed in iTunes 7, because the very first time I fired it up I forgot to manually mount the NFS drive, but when I started a song playing in iTunes 7, lo and behold, my NFS mount was mounted for me! I suspect this would also work for other types of network mounts.
