OK a list of files found in /dev then, why would anybody try to mount
sda if sda1 is present? I can see trying to mount sda if there was no
partition table present, but if there is a table why try? It's going to
fail. 

Doesn't matter, there are acceptable replacements for that
functionality, just another package that's not part of Fedora that won't
need to be maintained going forward.
