...unless the script normally runs inside ARDAgent or SecurityAgent's
context, and would therefore no longer be allowed to use commands
from Standard Additions like "mount volume", if the client is running
Security Update 2008-005 or later.

I think the more precise statement now is "you _normally_ don't need
the Finder for that, but if you're sure it hasn't been replaced with
something like Path Finder, the tell block doesn't hurt."
