As a sample configuration for amd(8), that's a good idea.

But the amd specific requirements violate POLA too often for it to be
useful in the hands of the less savvy. There is no 'umount -f' equivalent
-- 'amq -u' is a mere recommendation to amd(8). umount(8)ing a device owned
by amd(8) will confuse it terminally. And depending on how the kernel maps
the media's partition table to a disklabel, you have to keep around several
entries for one type of media (like USB sticks).

Seconded.
