All these file systems are either rare enough and/or not used on 
removable media, so I do not believe that it is unreasonable to ask the
few users that want them to be mounted automatically to disable this 
policy with a symlink like
ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/75-insecure-fs.rules .

It means that they are not tested enough...

Did you actually read the thread? No modules are being blacklisted, the 
plan is just to stop udisks2 from automatically mounting such removable 
media.
I am quite sure that routers file systems are not mounted with udisks2.
